Kenya's Constitution in Article 11 recognizes culture as the foundation of the national and cumulative civilization of the Kenyan people.

The article commits the government to promote all forms of national and cultural expressions and to protect the intellectual property rights of the Kenyan people.

The constitution further devolves cultural function therefore effectively giving the county/regional governments mandate for development and promotion of culture through allocation of budgets, planning and implementation of cultural programmes at the local level.
