Members of the National Assembly have shown their support for the implementation of Sex Education in Kenyan schools as a measure to address the high rates of unwanted pregnancies amongst the teenagers.  

Members debated a Motion by Hon. Njeri Maina (Kirinyaga), urging the National Government, through the State Department of Basic Education, to introduce comprehensive health, wellness, and sex education as a core subject in the school curriculum.

Public entities will have to submit annual reports to Parliament, providing comprehensive details on their adherence to Kenya's diversity and equal opportunity standards within the public service if the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill is passed by the House and assented to into law. 

The Bill aims to uphold the Constitutional provisions on  representation and equal opportunities for all citizens.

The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Select Committees on Public Debt and Privatization and Budget and Appropriations held a joint retreat with the National Treasury and Economic Planning.

The retreat covered key issues including revenue management, fiscal risks management and county public finance management; public investment and portfolio management; and public private partnerships (PPPs).

Members of the National Assembly have raised concern that the National Government has not only caused significant delays but has also failed in its duty to compensate citizens for the lands acquired for infrastructural projects.

The legislators noted that a number of Kenyans find themselves trapped in severe destitution due to the Government's forceful acquisition of their lands without compensation.
