Government and the law touch every part of life in Kenya — from the ID card in your wallet to the title deed on your land, from the ward representative you vote for to the court that settles a dispute. Yet for most Kenyans, these systems can feel distant, complicated, and designed for someone else. Too many rights go unclaimed simply because people don’t know they have them.
Whether you’re registering a business, applying for a passport, navigating a land matter, or trying to understand what the Constitution actually says about your rights, being informed changes everything. This is why Jua Kenya covers government and legal affairs the way it deserves — clearly, practically, and with the ordinary Kenyan in mind. From eCitizen services and county government to family law and civic education, find everything you need to deal with the system confidently and claim what is rightfully yours.
