Committees
Committees are crucial units in the functions of parliaments. There is no doubt that most of Parliament's work is done through committees. Committees are composed of representatives of parties within parliament. It is good practice to conduct open committee sittings unless there is a justifiable reason.
Regional Parliaments
Kenya is a member of the East African Community (EAC) and the African Union (AU). The EAC has a legislative arm known as the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) while the AU has the Pan African Parliament (PAP). Both EALA and PAP have representatives from Kenya who are elected by members of the National Assembly and Senate.
