Parliament Website Remains Closed

Kenya is the only East African country without a website for its Parliament.

The National Assembly's official website was shut down last September after
The Standard published education backgrounds, hobbies, ages and other
details of MPs from the site.

The site was shut down after complaints that the information was "too
sensitive" and that MPs had been embarrassed.

Posted on the website, http://www.parliament.go.ke , are the words: "Thank
you for visiting the Parliament website. We are currently updating this
site. Please bookmark this site and visit us shortly."

The site, which was on a test run, was shut before the launch, set for last
September. Kenya's Parliament now lags behind its Ugandan and Tanzanian
counterparts, which have websites that have detailed information on MPs.

They detail MPs' employment history, political experience and special
skills. The sites also tabulate MPs' performance in Parliament in terms of
questions raised and their contributions.

Also included are parliamentary documents such as Bills, Acts, Order Papers
and transcripts of proceedings.

The sites also contain a summary of development funds and ministry
activities. Also posted on the sites are proceedings of committee meetings,
which are still a closed-door affair in Kenya.

The public is also given an opportunity to post comments on the websites.
