Senator Tabitha Mutinda has achieved a remarkable milestone following her election to the Board of Governance of the Parliamentary Network on the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

In an official communication to the Senate on Wednesday afternoon, Speaker Amason Jeffah Kingi congratulated Senator Mutinda on her appointment and called upon her colleagues to offer her their full support as she embarks on this new international leadership role.

A watchdog Committee of the Senate has accused Busia Governor Paul Otuoma of doing little to implement the resolutions of the Senate in relation to the financial reports of the county for the 2022/23 financial year.

At the sitting held at the Agricultural Training Centre in Busia town, the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) expressed its displeasure with the Governor for failing to take disciplinary action against some of his officers who failed to provide relevant documents to the auditor general in line with the requirements of the Public Audit Act.

The Busia One Stop Border Point (OSBP) has been cited as a key trade gateway that urgently requires expansion to improve efficiency and strengthen cross-border trade between Kenya and neighbouring countries.
