Your voice belongs

in Parliament.

Sheria Watch bridges the gap between lawmakers and citizens. We track bills, break them down in plain language, gather your feedback — and take it directly to the people writing your laws.
What is Sheria Watch?

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.

How it works

Three steps. Real participation.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Spread the word

Share a bill with your community, workplace or organisation. The more voices we gather, the stronger the case for laws that serve everyone.

"At LexLink, we believe in keeping all people informed of the law, so that all people may actively participate in the development of the laws that govern their cities, communities and countries."

— Lexlink Consulting, founding principle of Sheria Watch

Sheria Watch is rooted in three constitutional provisions that make public participation not just a right but a duty of both citizens and the state.

We work within the formal parliamentary process — not around it — to ensure that every voice gathered here carries weight where laws are actually written.

Article 1 — Sovereignty of the people Article 10 — National values Article 118 — Public access to Parliament
