    "content": "Legislatively, the Policy calls for updates to the Foreign Service Act (Cap.185E) and Privileges and Immunities Act (Cap.179) to institutionalise professionalism, enhance Nairobi's role as a diplomatic hub and align Kenya's diplomacy with international standards. In line with Article 118(1)(b) of the Constitution, the Committee ensured robust public participation in its review of the Sessional Paper. A public call for memoranda published on 19th February 2025 yielded six submissions from key stakeholders. While some proposals echoed existing policy provisions or lay outside the Sessional Paper’s scope, all contributions enriched the Committee's deliberations. They reinforced transparency, accountability and institutional integrity in Kenya's foreign policy-making process."
