The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has raised concerns over the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission's (EACC) payment of over Kshs. 1.5 billion for the acquisition of the Integrity Centre Building in Nairobi without the documents from the seller.

During a session chaired by Hon. Wilberforce Oundo (Funyula), the EACC  Chief Executive Officer (CEO)  Mr. Twalib Mbarak was questioned at length over the payment of Ksh. 1,518,00,000 for the Building,  despite the seller's failure to provide crucial documents.

The National Assembly will resume its sittings today Tuesday 25^th July, 2023 at 2.30 p.m. This follows a short recess as per the House calendar.

Upon resumption, the following Bills are expected to be read for a First time; the Water (Amendment) Bill (2023), the Insurance (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 18 of 2023), and the Vocational Training Bill (Senate Bill No. 3 of 2022).

The Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs, and Human Rights (JLAHRC), chaired by Bomet Senator Wakili Hillary Sigei, is currently investigating a petition submitted by Ms Zipporah Seroney. This petition concerns the alleged mistreatment, harassment, property loss, and human rights abuses inflicted upon the family of the late Jean Marie Seroney. The committee is currently in Nandi County on a fact-finding mission.

All is set for Monday July 24, 2023 when the Ad hoc committee on the Proliferation of Religious Organisations will hold a public hearing to get the views of the members of the public on its mandate.

In an advert in the local newspapers last week, the Committee, which is chaired by Tana River Senator Danson Mungatana, extended an invite to interested members of the public and organisations to make representations on any of the matters falling within the mandate of the Committee.

The public hearing will be conducted in County Hall, Mini Chamber, between 9.30am and 1.00pm.
