Kenyan Members of Parliament (MPs) are actively discussing the National Addressing Bill, 2025, aimed at creating a unified national addressing system. While the Bill's objectives are widely supported, a significant debate has emerged regarding the proposed creation of a new state agency.

• The Bill seeks to standardize spatial referencing systems for improved e-commerce, emergency response, and service delivery.
• Stakeholders, including the State Department for Broadcasting and Telecommunications and the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), advocate for a centralized governance model within existing institutions to streamline implementation and avoid undermining fiscal consolidation efforts.
• MP Machua Waithaka, the Bill's sponsor, highlighted the current reliance on informal directions and dropped-pin locations, emphasizing the need for a formal framework to boost commerce and logistics.
