Kenyan Parliament – What’s Happening Now?

If you’re looking for the latest on Kenya’s lawmakers, you’ve landed in the right spot. This page gathers every new story about the Senate and National Assembly, from big bills to heated debates. We keep it short, clear, and useful so you can see how decisions made in Nairobi affect your daily life.

How Kenya’s Parliament Works

Kenya has a two‑chamber parliament: the Senate (upper house) and the National Assembly (lower house). The Senate mainly looks after county matters, while the National Assembly deals with national laws and budgets. Both chambers must agree on a bill before it becomes law, which means debates can move fast or get stuck for weeks.

Members are elected every five years. After each election, new faces join the debate rooms, bringing fresh ideas and sometimes big controversy. The Speaker of the National Assembly runs the sessions, while the Senate has its own Chairperson. Both leaders decide who gets to speak and how votes are counted.

Top Stories You Can’t Miss

Right now the biggest headlines revolve around three issues:

• Land Reform Bill: Parliament is voting on a new law that could change how land titles are issued. Farmers and investors are watching closely because it may affect prices and ownership rights.
• Digital Economy Act: The bill aims to regulate online businesses, data privacy, and e‑commerce taxes. Tech companies say it’s needed for growth; critics worry about too much government control.
• Health Funding Package: A multi‑billion shilling plan to upgrade hospitals and expand insurance coverage has just passed the Senate. It promises faster treatment but still needs approval from the National Assembly.

Each of these stories moves through committees, public hearings, and finally a vote on the floor. We update you each step of the way so you know when a bill is introduced, debated, amended, or signed into law.
