Members of the National Assembly have this afternoon paid glowing tribute to the late Ol Kalou Member of Parliament, Hon. David Njuguna Kiaraho, following his untimely demise, with Members honouring his legacy of service, professionalism, and dedication to the people.

The House commenced tributes with a moment of silence in honour of the departed legislator.

The Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury Hon. John Mbadi has assured the Committee on Finance and National Planning that there is no cause for alarm on the Kenyan economy even as the ongoing war in the Middle East threatens to dampen global growth prospects.

He was speaking when he appeared before the Committee to apprise the lawmakers on the policy responses the government was undertaking to cushion Kenyans from economic shocks as a result of the war.

WHEREAS, Article 118(1) (b) of the Constitution requires Parliament to facilitate public participation and involvement in the legislative and other business of Parliament and its Committees;

The National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) has commenced a nationwide public participation exercise on the Public Participation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 44), 2025, in a move aimed at strengthening citizen engagement in governance and law-making.

The Bill, co-sponsored by Rarieda MP, Hon. Otiende Amollo and Ainabkoi MP, Hon. Samuel Chepkonga seeks to provide a  legal framework to guide how public participation is conducted across government institutions.

Inclusion is not a matter of goodwill; it is a constitutional and moral imperative that demands deliberate action. 

The Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys Boss has today officially opened the Kenya Disability Parliamentary Association (KEDIPA) forum on behalf of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula, calling for practical reforms to address persistent barriers facing persons with disabilities.
