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. 

The Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys Boss has today officially opened the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association (KEDIPA) forum on behalf of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula, calling for practical reforms to address persistent barriers facing persons with disabilities. 

Members of Parliament from both the National Assembly and the Senate have appointed officials to lead the Parliamentary Caucus on Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (MNCH) to advocate for sustainable domestic immunization funding.
