WHEREAS, Article 118(1) (b) of the Constitution requires Parliament to facilitate public participation and involvement in the legislative and other business of Parliament and its Committees;

The National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) has commenced a nationwide public participation exercise on the Public Participation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 44), 2025, in a move aimed at strengthening citizen engagement in governance and law-making.

The Bill, co-sponsored by Rarieda MP, Hon. Otiende Amollo and Ainabkoi MP, Hon. Samuel Chepkonga seeks to provide a  legal framework to guide how public participation is conducted across government institutions.

Inclusion is not a matter of goodwill; it is a constitutional and moral imperative that demands deliberate action.
