Parliament House

If you fancy a look at how democracy works in Kenya, it’s possible to obtain a free permit for the public gallery at Parliament House when parliament is in session. Visit the gate office to obtain a permit, and remember that applause is strictly forbidden. If parliament is out of session, you can tour the buildings by arrangement with the sergeant-at-arms; agree on any fee before you begin – start at KSh200 and see where it gets you.
