    NAIROBI

    The Constitution Review Commission of Kenya, headed by Professor Yash Pal Ghai, on Monday vowed that a revised constitution would be passed by parliament before Kenya went to the polls for its next presidential and parliamentary elections, scheduled to be held by December 2002. Ghai promised that a draft constitution would be presented to the parliament by next June, and that the entire constitution review process, including the drafting of a final document, would be completed by December, the independent ‘Daily Nation’ reported on Tuesday. “We are convinced we will be able to embark on and finish our work within the given time framework,” said Commission Vice-Chairman Dr Oki Ooko Ombaka, as the body revealed its 16-page strategic plan for the review process. “With the support from stakeholders and resources, we are confident we can have a complete and comprehensive review,” he added.
