President Mwai Kibaki today led Kenyans to a new beginning when he appended the Presidential Seal to the New Constitution of Kenya. The passing of this historic moment clears the path to the realisation of the aspirations of Kenyans to have a new Constitution that best advances their nation towards greater democracy with better governance and shared prosperity for all its citizens. In his Speech at the promulgation ceremony at the Uhuru Park, the same grounds where Kenya's independence was declared on 12th December 19963, President Kibaki saluted all Kenyan citizens wherever they are and paid tribute to all those who contributed through 'sheer hard work and commitment to the realization of the new Constitution.' Speaking with great pride and hope for the nation, President Kibaki noted that in the New Kenya there will be more opportunities for employment and business, better housing, healthcare and education for Kenyans.
The President further urged Kenyans to once again 'embrace a new national spirit, a spirit of national inclusiveness, tolerance, harmony and unity.' He further reaffirmed the commitment of the Grand Coalition government to provide effective leadership in the implementation of the new Constitution, which he expressed confidence will ensure and stand the test of time.

The promulgation of the new Constitution follows the successful Referendum of 4th August 2010 in which 66.9% votes were in favour of a new constitutional order. The passing of the Referendum ushered a new era of optimism among Kenyans. The New Constitution marks a new beginning for Kenya and its people; a time for renewal.
The Kenya Embassy in Dublin wishes to seize this opportunity to congratulate all Kenyans on this historic day. |

Kenya has once again taken centre stage as a leading sporting nation at the ISTAAF 2010 IAAF World Challenge in Berlin where the 21years old David Lekuta Rudisha set a new world record for 800ms. Following in the footsteps of many others before him including previous record holder Mr. Wilson Kipketer (now Danish), Mr. Billy Konchillah (1987 World Champion) and the ultimate Mr. Kipchoge Arap Keino (Winner of 1968 Summer Olympics), among many, Rudisha clocked 1:41.09 against Kipketer’s 1.41.11 of 1997. Rudisha adds his new title to the African and junior world champions.
