The Senate is set to get a digital system for tracking and managing resolutions passed by county assemblies, which is aimed at improving transparency, monitoring, and accountability in the legislative process.
The State Department for Devolution has invited individual consultants to express interest in designing as well as developing an online database that will help track the resolutions that are passed by county assemblies.
According to a notice shared on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the database will help support the Senate’s role under Article 96 of the Constitution, which requires it to represent counties and protect their interests, as well as to strengthen devolution in general.
Further, the State Department for Devolution says the system is intended to promote better coordination and more effective legislative practices across county assemblies, improve access to information on county legislative decisions, and support the Senate.

This will be done through a database that is expected to provide a central platform in which resolutions passed will be tracked and managed.
The consultancy will be funded through the Second Kenya Devolution Support Programme (KDSP-II), which has financing from the World Bank.
There are three areas that the programme focuses on, one of them being sustainable financing and expenditure management, where KRA supports efforts towards enhancing financing and expenditure management by counties.
Second is Intergovernmental Coordination, Institutional Performance, and Human Resource Management, where KRA supports national and county government initiatives towards strengthening intergovernmental coordination, institutional performance, and Human Resource Management (HRM).
The third area seeks to improve oversight and accountability with the programme while supporting the development of guidelines on project risk-taking, community-led project management committees, and also climate change risk screening.
In addition, to support this initiative, the State Department for Devolution is seeking an individual consultant with relevant qualifications and experience to design and develop the database.
Those interested are required to submit their Curriculum Vitae, relevant registration or licensing certificates, and testimonials or recommendations.
The submission deadline is November 12, 2026, at 11am, and applicants can send them to their email or deposit them in the tender box on the fifth floor of Teleposta Towers, along Kenyatta Avenue in Nairobi.
