Abstract: The article delves into "What are the fundamental questions that we need to ask ourselves as Kenyans when searching for a new constitution?" A critique of the philosophical roots of ideas that govern choices about the future leads to the formulation  of an approach  to  just governance. Essential principles of social justice and rights are developed, based on a critique of the dominant metanorm of globalization and neo liberalism in general. The idea of virtuous governance is proposed, and even a strategy for change towards putting it in practice.
