Senate Minority Leader, Sen Stewart Madzayo has called for the nation to conduct a candid review of persistent challenges that have dogged the implementation of devolution, especially sectors that require coordinated action across both National and County Governments. 

The Senator cited the key areas as the uneven county-level implementation of Universal Health Care, systemic threats to agriculture and national food security, disparities in Early Childhood Development Education between counties and the need for more effective intergovernmental relations. 

Senate Speaker Amason Kingi has issued a stern warning to County Governors who evade parliamentary summons, declaring that the Senate will not tolerate attempts to undermine its constitutional oversight authority.

Speaking at the Assessment and Planning Retreat, the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Jeremiah Nyegenye, CBS, underscored the importance of strategic foresight as the 13th Parliament enters its penultimate session. Addressing the full membership of the Senate, the Clerk emphasized that the transition to the Fifth Session is a pivotal moment for legislative consolidation.
