     Dear all,

     PROPOSED CONSTITUTION: INVITATION TO SECTOR BASED WORKSHOPS
     FOR PROFESSIONALS

     The Proposed Constitution of Kenya has certainly entered a
     critical and crucial stage of the roadmap towards completion.
     The planned civic education has unfortunately been marred by
     logistical hurdles culminating in distortion of information as
     well as peddling of untruths by both sides of the referendum
     divide. It is disheartening that half truths and outright
     misleading information are being given to the unsuspecting
     members of public in a bid to lure them into taking positions
     on the proposed constitution. Fears are beginning to emerge
     that once again, the outcome of the August 4^th Referendum
     will leave Kenyans divided as was the case in 2005.

     As professionals and indeed professional bodies, we have a
     responsibility to ensure that Kenyans are properly informed
     particularly on issues that are within the realm of our
     expertise. There is  need for active engagement to ensure that
     this process does not leave the country badly scarred and
     divided but rather emerge from the constitution making process
     stronger  and united.

     APSEA is organizing a series of sector based workshops for
     professionals in order to interrogate the proposed
     constitution and how it affects the various sectors of
     professionals. At the end of the workshops, it is expected
     that professionals will serve as agents of change.

     The main Objective of the workshops is to enlighten
     Professional bodies and their members on the state of play in
     the constitutional review process. Other more specific
     objectives include:-

                i.            To encourage professionals to remain
     engaged and proactive in the constitution making process

              ii.            To foster ownership of the entire
     constitution making process by the Professionals.

           iii.            To advocate and promote dialogue and
     reconciliation between various divergent views, especially
     between political and religious leaders and the civic society
     with a view of bringing in harmony and unity of purpose in
     Kenya .

     We are therefore pleased to invite you to the sector based
     workshop for professionals at the Silver Springs Hotel
     starting at 8.30. am on the dates indicated below:

     1.     Management, Finance & Law
     28^th June 2010

     2.     Built and Natural Environment
     29^th June 2010

     3.     Medicine and Health Environment                  30^th
     June 2010

     4.     Media and Public Relations
     1^st July 2010

     Key speakers including constitutional lawyers and renowned
     professionals in the specific sectors have been invited to
     make presentations at the workshops.

     Participation at the workshop is free and therefore limited
     chances are available.  Kindly confirm your participation with
     the Secretariat on [3]apsea at apsea.or.ke or 2222119.

     Yours faithfully,

     Dr. Daniel W. Ichang’i, Ph.D. (McGill), R. Geol., O.G.W.

     Chairman, APSEA
