Kenya Parliament Buildings

Kenya / Africa

The Parliament Buildings house the Kenyan National Assembly, the lower house of the Parliament of Kenya.  Between 1966 and 2013, it served as a unicameral house. In 2013 (the 11th Parliament) it became the lower house when the Senate was re-established.

It has a total of 349 seats with 290 elected from the constituencies, 47 women elected from the counties and 12 nominated representatives. The Speaker serves as an ex officio member.

The Kenyan Higher Court ordered lawmakers to introduce gender quotas, or face dissolution in the mid-2010s, following the implementation of the 2010 Constitution.
