The Public information and Media department is central to the success of the review process; especially in as far as public awareness through the media and civic education of the Kenyan population is concerned.

The CoE however strongly feels that for the purposes of realizing an affirmative referendum result as an end result and effective public participation, an elaborate civic education and awareness strategy must be implemented alongside the CoE operational plan.
The core functions of the Public Information and Media programme is to implement strategies of reaching out to and effectively educating the majority of Kenyans on the constitutional review process using all the available media channels including new media such as mobile phones and the internet.
This will be done through various channels to ensure that the public is fully informed. Key to the success of this programme will be to bring on board the entire media fraternity as a stakeholder and partner in the dissemination of information in the constitution review process.

 
In addition the programme will formulate strategies for the delivery of quality media materials, TV and radio adverts, to enhance public participation to make the constitutional review and truly people driven process with the outcome begin to legitimise the process and the product, a harmonised draft constitution.

The Public Information and Media programme has implemented strategies of reaching out and shall effectively educate majority of Kenyans on the proposed new constitution using all the available media channels including mobile phones and the internet.
