Why can’t a sitting President be charged or arrested in Kenya?
Is the President above the law — or is there a deeper constitutional reason behind presidential immunity?
In this video, we break down presidential criminal immunity under the Constitution of Kenya 2010, explaining why a President cannot be held criminally liable while in office, and how this immunity fits within separation of powers, constitutional stability, and the rule of law.
This is not about protecting individuals.
It is about protecting the office of the presidency, the functioning of the state, and democratic continuity.
In this video, you will learn:
✔ What presidential immunity means under Kenyan law
✔ Why criminal prosecution is deferred, not erased
✔ How impeachment differs from criminal liability
✔ The role of separation of powers in protecting the presidency
✔ Whether a President can be prosecuted after leaving office
✔ Why immunity exists in constitutional democracies
✔ Common myths about presidents being “above the law”

📚 Law students
🗳️ Civic education
⚖️ Constitutional law discussions
🎓 KCSE & university revision
🇰🇪 Kenyan politics and governance enthusiasts
📌 The Constitution does not assume perfect leaders. It assumes imperfect humans and builds safeguards.
