Murray, Christina's Annotation for Transparent Inquiry (ATI) data project annotates a chapter analyzing Kenya's two constitution-making processes. The first process ran from 2000 to 2005, ending with a rejected draft referendum; the second ran from 2008 to 2010, culminating in the adoption of a new constitution in August 2010. The chapter reflects on the design differences between the processes and the role of a foreign member of the drafting Committee of Experts.
