Kenya’s parliamentary committee on communication convened Friday to discuss the National Addressing Bill 2025, a proposed law aiming to modernize the country’s addressing infrastructure. The bill, sponsored by MP Machua Waithaka, seeks to replace the current fragmented system with a unified, digital framework. Stakeholder consultations were a key component of the committee’s proceedings, gathering input from various parties impacted by the proposed legislation. If enacted, the bill promises to improve service delivery, enhance national security, and facilitate economic development through accurate spatial data. The legislation represents a significant step towards a digitally-enabled national addressing system for Kenya. The committee will now consider feedback received before further progressing the bill through parliament.
