The National Assembly has passed the County Library Services Bill, 2024 (Senate Bill No. 40 of 2024), setting the stage for a structured system of public library services across the 47 counties.

The Bill seeks to provide a legal framework for the establishment and management of county libraries, with county governments taking responsibility for delivering library services to communities.

Members of the National Assembly have passed the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to formally recognise Alternative Provision for Basic Education and Training (APBET) institutions and bring them into Kenya’s basic education framework.

The Bill, sponsored by Mathare MP Hon. Anthony Oluoch, seeks to address a growing gap in the education system where thousands of children, particularly those living in informal settlements and marginalised communities, rely on non-formal schools for access to basic education.
