List of Kenyan Senators
Fact-checked on
In this article
The Senate is the “upper house” of Kenya’s Parliament. Its main job is to protect the interests of the 47 counties: it shares out revenue between counties, oversees county spending and hears impeachment cases against governors. Each county elects one senator. The Senate also has 20 nominated senators (16 women, two representing youth and two representing persons with disabilities), and is chaired by the Speaker, currently Amason Kingi.
