Parliament yesterday opened doors to the public as it marked this year’s Parliamentary Week, with a call to Kenyans to engage lawmakers more on national issues.

The annually event organised by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) seeks to strengthen the legislature’s engagement with the public as stipulated in Article 118 of the constitution. This year's theme was 'connecting Parliament with the people.'
