KenyaADK — first ADK implementation for East African civic data (budget, parliament, drought, rights EN/SW)

[gabrielmahia]

What I built

KenyaADK — the first Google ADK implementation for East African civic data. Four specialist agents orchestrated by a root LlmAgent, all running on Gemini 2.0 Flash free tier.

root_agent = LlmAgent(
    name="kenya_civic_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    description="Routes civic queries to specialist agents",
    sub_agents=[drought_agent, budget_agent, parliament_agent, rights_agent],
)

Agents and tools

Agent	Tool	Live data
drought_agent	get_drought_status(county)	NDMA drought phases — 47 counties
budget_agent	get_county_budget(county)	Controller of Budget absorption rates
parliament_agent	query_parliament(topic)	Kenya 13th Parliament records
rights_agent	get_constitutional_right(topic, lang)	Constitution of Kenya 2010 — English and Kiswahili

The full protocol stack

KenyaADK demonstrates ADK, MCP, and A2A working together:

• ADK — orchestration (this repo)
• MCP — tool access via mpesa-mcp (3,730+ downloads, MIT)
• A2A — remote agent via kenya-a2a

Run it

git clone https://github.com/gabrielmahia/kenya-adk
cd kenya-adk
pip install -r requirements.txt
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_free_key  # aistudio.google.com
adk web  # opens dev UI

Data

Built on Kenya Civic Datasets published to Kaggle, HuggingFace, and Zenodo with academic DOIs — all CC BY-SA 4.0.

Portfolio context

Part of a 24-tool East African civic AI portfolio: gabrielmahia.github.io

Happy to contribute a cookbook entry on civic data RAG + agent patterns for ADK documentation.

Following up on the KenyaADK discussion.

The East African civic AI portfolio has expanded significantly since that post:

New tools built on or complementing ADK:

• AfyaAI — Kenya health AI (NHIF, hospitals, maternal health EN/SW)
• DiasporaAI — US-Kenya dual-life navigator (FBAR, investment, dual citizenship)
• kenya-health-mcp — Fourth MCP server: NHIF contributions, facility registry, maternal protocol, Article 43 rights

Portfolio now: 37 repos · 29 tools · 4 PyPI packages · 4 MCP servers

The ADK + MCP + A2A stack continues to serve as the infrastructure layer. Would still love to contribute a cookbook entry on civic data agent patterns — especially the bilingual (EN/SW) interaction patterns that work well for East African audiences.

Fantastic real-world use of ADK's sub_agents pattern. Routing drought, budget, parliament and bilingual EN/SW rights queries through one root agent on top of your own MCP and A2A servers is exactly the kind of civic-tech application we love seeing. Closing this out since it's a third-party project rather than an ADK core issue. Did see your offer to write a cookbook entry on the bilingual patterns, genuinely good idea, worth raising directly on adk-docs so it reaches the right people.
