The Kenyan Senate has formally opened a public participation period for the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025, following a social media uproar over alleged presidential term limit changes. The Bill, which was tabled on August 7, aims to strengthen devolution and refine legislative processes.

• Written memoranda can be submitted to the Office of the Clerk at Parliament Buildings in Nairobi or emailed by September 26, 2025, at 5 pm.
• The Senate will conduct public hearings in all 47 counties; dates and venues are to be announced.
• Key objectives include clarifying the role of constitutional organs in devolution, reviewing mandates of the National Assembly and Senate, and securing Senate participation in the budget-making process, moving towards full legislative authority for both Houses.
