KNICE Kenya Website launched

Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Eugene Wamalwa officially launched the Kenya National Integrated Civic Education (K-NICE) Programme website earlier today.

The online portal, www.knice.go.ke will allow Kenyans access Civic Education on the Constitution besides acting as a database for K-NICE civic education materials and events.

Ordinary Kenyans will now be able to discuss issues on Constitution of Kenya by reading the available resources on the informative website (loaded with Blogs, YouTube Channel, Articles, Forums, Cartoons/Illustrations, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), E-books, and Thematic Guides) as well as allowing interaction through the discussion of issues on social media via K-NICE Facebook and Twitter pages among others.

The online platform will also provide opportunity for the public to target questions on the Constitution directly to K-NICE secretariat members.
