Your voice belongs
in Parliament.
Laws that govern you
should be made with you.
Sheria Watch is LexLink's public participation initiative — created to ensure that every Kenyan has a real, practical way to engage with the legislative process, regardless of their legal background.
We take complex bills currently before the National Assembly and Senate, translate them into plain language, and create a direct channel for citizens to submit feedback that reaches the committees writing those laws.
This is not civic education for its own sake. This is about making public participation a reality, not just a constitutional promise.
Rooted in the Constitution
Article 10 names public participation as a national value. Sheria Watch makes that value operational — not aspirational.
For every Kenyan
You do not need a law degree to have a valid opinion on laws that affect your life. We handle the legal translation so you can focus on what matters.
Real access, real impact
We compile public submissions and present them directly to parliamentary committee chairs — so your voice is documented and attributed.
Three steps. Real participation.
We track the bills
Our legal team monitors every bill tabled in the National Assembly and Senate. We flag the ones most likely to affect ordinary Kenyans — tax, employment, health, housing, digital rights — and publish a plain-language breakdown within 48 hours of tabling.
You share your view
Using our simple feedback form, you submit your position on the bill — what you support, what concerns you, and what you want changed. No legal language required. We accept individual and group submissions from community organisations.
We take it to Parliament
We compile all public submissions into a structured report and present it to the relevant parliamentary committee. Every submission is attributed. Every voice is counted and delivered where laws are actually written.
Bills open for your input right now.
Read our plain-language summary for each bill and submit your feedback before the deadline. Your submission will be compiled and delivered to the relevant parliamentary committee.
