Parliament Resumes to Consider Constitutional Amendment Bill and New Legislation - September 2025

Kenya's Parliament is set to resume with a packed agenda that includes a significant constitutional review and the consideration of crucial bills. The Senate will consider the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which is aimed at expanding its oversight role, including joint vetting of state officers and having an equal say in budget-making. Concurrently, the National Assembly will address various reports, international agreements, and a substantial legislative agenda. In addition, Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo is set to introduce separate legislation targeting serial Parliament nominees. She argues that repeated nominations undermine the original intent of affirmative action seats as a launching pad for new politicians.
