The fight against femicide and gender-based violence has received a major boost after female lawmakers launched a national campaign to address the menace.

The initiative, named Komesha Dhuluma, was officially unveiled on Thursday, 16th January  2025 at Parliament Buildings.

KEWOPA Chairperson Hon. Leah Sankaire (Kajiado) announced that all 102 female legislators from both the National Assembly and Senate would lead the campaign in their respective constituencies.

The National Assembly is set to hold a pivotal mid-term retreat to evaluate the legislative progress and outline priorities for the upcoming Parliamentary session. Scheduled from January 27 to 31, 2025, in Naivasha, Nakuru County, this gathering will bring together Members of Parliament to reflect on achievements and strategize for the fourth session which will commence on February 10, 2025.

Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Samuel Njoroge, has called on Kenya Parliamentary reporters to remain factual and objective while reporting Parliament activities.

Speaking at the official opening of an engagement workshop with the Members of Kenya Parliamentary Journalists Association (KPJA) in Naivasha, Nakuru County, he underscored the symbiotic relationship that exists between the National Assembly and the Parliamentary reporters, noting that their reportage shapes opinion in the public space.
