This Public Engagement Hub seminar will focus on Kenya’s bicameral parliament to lead a reflection on how to institutionalise public engagement practices.
Speaker: Dr Brenda Ogembo, Principal Clerk Assistant and the Deputy Head of the Senate Liaison Office at the Parliament of Kenya
Chair: Professor Cristina Leston-Bandeira, University of Leeds and Chair of IPEN
Kenya’s constitution sets a number of provisions about public engagement expectations. The seminar – which will primarily focus on the Senate – will share some of its practices in implementing these constitutional provisions while identifying some of the associated challenges.
This event will take place on Zoom and is open to anyone with an interest in public engagement with parliaments.
The seminar will be presented in English. Translation will be available from/to French.
