The Parliament of Kenya is proud to host the 3rd National Conference of Serjeant-at-Arms in Machakos County.

From medieval traditions to 21st-century security, the role of the Serjeant-at-Arms has evolved into a sophisticated pillar of our legislative process. This year, officers from the Senate, National Assembly, and County Assemblies across the country are gathering to evolve even further.

The Senate has intensified scrutiny of the multi-billion-shilling Talanta Sports City Stadium project, raising serious questions over procurement procedures, cost escalation, and financial transparency in the construction of the flagship facility meant for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Senate Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing has formally written to Sports Cabinet Secretary Hon. Salim Mvurya demanding a comprehensive explanation on the status and management of the project, citing concerns flagged by the Auditor-General.

The Senate Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources has resolved to issue a final summon to Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka following his continued failure to appear before the Committee to provide updates on projects funded under the FLLoCA Programme.

The Committee, chaired by Senator Mohamed Faki (Mombasa) warned that any further failure to honour the summon will result in the issuance of a warrant of arrest, in accordance with parliamentary powers and privileges.

Public buildings in Mombasa are excluding Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), Senators have said, as the Ministry of Lands admitted enforcement gaps, weak county capacity and funding constraints continue to undermine accessibility laws.

The Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, chaired by Sen Julius Murgor (West Pokot), heard that at least seven buildings — including Bima Towers, the Mombasa County Assembly, the Office of the Deputy County Commissioner and Mombasa Law Courts — remain non-compliant, effectively barring access to essential services.

A Senate watchdog committee has fined Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja Sh500,000 and ordered his arrest for contempt of Parliament.

The County Public Accounts Committee directed Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to arrest the governor and present him before the committee on Monday, March 30, after finding him guilty of failing to honour multiple summons.

Kenya will meet all its obligations ahead of the African Cup of Nations tournament scheduled for 2027, the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, Salim Mvurya has told the Senate.

Appearing before the Senate Plenary on Wednesday to respond to questions from Lawmakers, CS Mvurya assured the House and Kenyans that the Government has put in place the necessary measures to ensure all requirements are met ahead of the tournament.
