⚖️ RAG system over Kenya legal documents — query the Constitution, Employment Act, Land Act, and Companies Act in Swahili # ⚖️ Kenya Legal RAG Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system over Kenya's key legal documents. Query the Constitution of Kenya, Employment Act, Land Act, Companies Act, and more — in English or Swahili. ## Research Basis Built on the cross-lingual RAG framework methodology (arXiv:2601.02065) and validated against multilingual legal RAG approaches (IEEE Access, RAG in Legal Technology Survey, 2025). The Swahili benchmarking study (arXiv:2509.04516) confirms native-language retrieval produces substantially fewer errors. ## Legal Documents Covered | Document | Coverage | |----------|----------| | Constitution of Kenya 2010 | Full text, all articles | | Employment Act (Cap. 226) | Employee rights, contracts, termination | | Land Act 2012 | Land tenure, registration, disputes | | Companies Act 2015 | Business registration, compliance | | Consumer Protection Act | Consumer rights, remedies | | Data Protection Act 2019 | Privacy rights, obligations | ## Usage ```python from kenya_legal_rag import KenyaLegalRAG rag = KenyaLegalRAG() # Query in English result = rag.query("What are an employee's rights when dismissed without notice?") # Query in Swahili result = rag.query("Je, mfanyakazi ana haki gani anapofukuzwa kazi bila notisi?") print(result.answer) print(result.sources) ``` ## MCP Server ```bash uvx kenya-legal-rag # or pip install kenya-legal-rag kenya-legal-rag ``` ## Install ```bash pip install kenya-legal-rag ``` ## Part of the East Africa Civic Tech Portfolio See also: mpesa-mcp | civic-agent-kit ## Disclaimer Legal information only.
