Chapter six of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) is devoted to the issue of leadership and integrity. In the chapter, factors that underpin responsible leadership are highlighted as, among others, respect for the people, honour to the country, integrity, dignity, impartiality in execution of public duties, accountability to the public, discipline and commitment in serving the people.
Chapter two of the same constitution denotes national values, among others, as patriotism, national unity, good governance, inclusiveness, social equity, integrity, transparency and accountability, sustainable development.
Since independence, the Kenyan school curriculum has been reviewed several times with the aim making the students to undergo holistic education that would enable them to be well adjusted individuals in the society. The attainment of this objective has often fallen short as far as the inculcation of Kenyan values.
