Give two methods of amending the constitution in Kenya.

1. Amendment by Parliament: The Kenyan constitution can be amended by a two-thirds majority vote in both houses of Parliament. This process involves the introduction of a bill proposing the amendment, followed by debates and voting in both the National Assembly and the Senate. If the bill is approved by a two-thirds majority in both houses, it is then presented to the President for assent.

2. Amendment by Popular Initiative: The Kenyan constitution can also be amended through a popular initiative, where a proposed amendment is initiated by the public through collecting signatures of at least one million registered voters. The proposed amendment is then submitted to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for verification of the signatures. If the signatures are verified, the proposed amendment is then presented to the county assemblies for consideration. If at least 24 out of the 47 county assemblies approve the amendment, it is then presented to Parliament for debate and voting. If Parliament approves the amendment by a two-thirds majority, it is then presented to the President for assent.

1. Popular initiative: 1 million registered voters can propose an amendment bill to the National Assembly, which then has 90 days to consider it. If the bill is passed by a two-thirds majority in both the National Assembly and Senate, it is put to a referendum for approval by the Kenyan people.
2. Parliamentary initiative: A majority of members of the National Assembly and Senate can propose an amendment bill, which is then debated and voted on in both chambers. If the bill is passed by a two-thirds majority in each chamber, it is presented to the President for assent. If the President signs the bill into law, it becomes part of the Constitution.
