Description
Abstract: Parliament’s role in the past few years has not just been confined to their respective geographical boundaries but has also infiltrated international circles through various cross-border activities. This study aimed at assessing the effect of legislation by the national assembly of Kenya on Kenya’s international relations. A descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The study targeted 350 members of the national assembly and 10 officials from the ministry of foreign affairs. A sample size of 182 respondents participated in the study. The study employed questionnaires for the members of the national assembly and interview schedules for the key informants. Data collected were entered into SPSS and descriptively analyzed. Qualitative data was presented thematically as per the study’s objectives using prose. The researcher employed various ethical considerations such as seeking permission to collect the data, obtaining informed consent from the respondents, and ensuring confidentiality, justice, and fairness during data collection. The study found that legislation by the National Assembly of Kenya had a significant effect on Kenya’s international relations. The study concluded that other collaborative legislative assemblies have been formed by parliamentary groups or assemblies through partnerships or by taking advantage of opportunities provided by regional blocks, where members of a particular country are nominated or the parliament takes representatives from its members. The study recommended that traditional diplomacy undertaken by the government and its designated executive agencies should be supplemented rather than competed with by parliamentary diplomacy.
