The Senate Standing Committee on Energy has launched a formal inquiry into the controversial handover of a 30,000-metric-tonne Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage facility in Mombasa to Nigerian firm Asharami Synergy Ltd. 

The move has raised major concerns about transparency, legality, and the sidelining of the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC), which had originally been tasked with developing the project.

Lawmakers have reacted to the FY 2025/26 Budget Estimates totaling to Kshs 4.2T that was presented by the National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary, Hon. John Mbadi.

The National Assembly Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys Boss, stated that what the CS had presented is a people’s budget since he had taken into account the issues that Kenyans raised during the FY 2024/25 Finance Bill protests.

The National Assembly Departmental Committee on Education has assured university staff of its commitment to resolving ongoing welfare and governance concerns at Moi University, following a meeting with officials from the Kenya University Staff Union (KUSU), Moi University Chapter.

Appearing before the Committee, the union officials presented a memorandum outlining grievances related to staff redundancy, financial challenges, and long-standing human resource issues that have strained the institution.
