The Senate of Kenya invites members of the public and stakeholders to participate in the legislative process by submitting views on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2026 (Senate Bills No. 7 of 2026).

The Bill proposes amendments to constitutional and electoral provisions, including restrictions on former county governors seeking elective office within five years of leaving office.

The National Assembly has commenced debate on the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill (Senate Bill No. 12 of 2023), a Bill seeking to establish a comprehensive framework to curb persistent livestock theft across the country.

Moving the Bill at Second Reading, North Imenti MP, Hon. Rahim Dawood said the proposed law is long overdue, noting that livestock and produce theft continues to undermine livelihoods, fuel insecurity, and result in loss of lives in affected regions.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang’ula, has appointed Members of Parliament to four mediation committees to resolve legislative deadlocks on key Bills between the National Assembly and the Senate.

The Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations has resolved to summon county governors to address a mounting governance crisis threatening the operations of municipal boards across the 47 devolved units. 

This decision follows a damning testimony from Kisumu County municipal board chairpersons, who alerted the Senate to a total breakdown in the working relationship between their boards and the County Executive.
