Today, the Senate Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds, led by Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, delved into the issues highlighted in the Auditor General regarding the financial statements of the Lamu Water and Sewerage Company (LAWASCO) for the fiscal years 2018-2021.

The National Assembly continued with debate on the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill 2023. The Bill seeks to amend the Climate Change Act of 2016 to provide for regulation of the carbon markets.
