Kenyan parliamentary legislative and reform activities

Overview

The Kenyan National Assembly has focused on addressing legislative backlogs and advancing major reforms in preparation for the 2027 General Election.

Initially, the National Assembly Liaison Committee held a strategic retreat in Mombasa to manage unfinished oversight and legislative business. Key discussions included the potential creation of additional accounts committees to expedite the scrutiny of public spending and plans to support the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) with necessary funding for election logistics and voter registration.

Following a month-long recess, the House resumed sittings with a priority on education reform. Legislative efforts include the Basic Education Bill, 2026, to overhaul school governance and teacher management, and the Kenya National Qualifications Framework (Amendment) Bill, 2026. Lawmakers are also working on a new loan-based financing framework for universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions, while simultaneously preparing the 2027/2028 Budget.
