    "content": "Article 2(6) of the Constitution, read together with the Treaty Making and Ratification Act Cap.4D, provides the legal foundation for incorporating international treaties into our domestic law. The National Assembly plays a critical role in ratification, ensuring conformity with constitutional values and public interest. Further, Article 2(5) of the Constitution stipulates that the general rules of international law shall form part of the law of Kenya. Article 2(6) of the Constitution provides that any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya. That is why we have brought this Treaty before the House this afternoon."
