The National Assembly resumed its sittings today for the second part of the Fourth Session, which the Speaker, the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula, described as the “Budget Session” owing to the critical financial business ahead. 

Members of Parliament returned from a working recess that saw them conduct public hearings on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and scrutinise the 2025/2026 Budget Estimates.

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.
