The Kenya Public Participation Bill 2024
The Office of the Attorney General is currently developing the Kenyan Public Participation Bill, 2024, and your input is crucial. This Bill aims to institutionalise public participation by ensuring that all Kenyans have a direct role in shaping laws, policies, and decisions that impact their lives. It seeks to strengthen and streamline the framework for public involvement at all levels of government.
By participating, you can help ensure that the process is inclusive, transparent, and responsive to the needs of the people. Your comments and feedback are key to making sure that the final law reflects the interests and concerns of all communities.
Why should you participate?
- Public participation is a fundamental right enshrined in our Constitution.
- Your input will help improve government accountability and decision-making processes.
- Ensuring diverse voices are heard makes laws and policies more effective and just.
Recommendations for strengthening the Public Participation Bill, 2024: A Memorandum summary as submitted by SUSO BNG
While the development of this Bill is progressive, it falls short of providing specifics. Several previous public participation bills have been proposed, yet they have not progressed. Acknowledging that this represents the initial phase of the Bill’s development, we commend the Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice for creating an opportunity for public input. We look forward to further opportunities for engagement as the process unfolds.
