Former NFL star and renowned American motivational speaker Rickey Allen Bolden is set to headline Kenya’s 22nd Annual National Prayer Breakfast on Wednesday, May 28, at Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi.

The high-profile annual event organized by the bicameral parliament of Kenya through its National Assembly and Senate has grown into a significant national platform for reflection, unity, and prayer, bringing together the country’s top leadership, MPs, diplomats, religious leaders, and invited guests from across the globe.

The Chairperson of the National Assembly’s Education Committee, Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet), has proposed a reallocation of Kshs. 5.9 billion in the 2025/26 Financial Year Budget to support the administration and invigilation of national examinations, an item previously omitted from the budget estimates.

The National Assembly is set to reconvene tomorrow, Tuesday 27th May 2025 from a four week working recess where Members of Parliament led country wide public participation on a Constitution Amendment Bill seeking to entrench three funds; National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF), Senate Oversight Fund and National Government Affirmative Action Fund.

Top on the lawmakers' agenda is the proposed Ksh 4.34 trillion budget for the 2025/2026 fiscal year. This budget reflects a 9.9% increase from the previous fiscal year's KSh 3.95 trillion allocation.

The Education sector has received the highest allocation in the National Government’s Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2025/26. According to an analysis by the Parliamentary Budget Office, the sector will account for 28.1% of the total budget, translating to Kshs. 701.1 billion.

Members of the National Assembly have approved five Bills this April, including a Bill aimed at tightening anti-money laundering laws, strengthening social protection, and guiding national revenue allocation.
