The Senate, through the Senate Liaison Office, in partnership with the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD), recently concluded a series of follow-up visits to ten County Assemblies including; Kisumu, Nyamira, Kisii, Vihiga, Kakamega, Migori, Homa Bay, Bungoma, Busia and Siaya between the 23rd and 27th of September, 2024.

These visits aimed to support the continued use and enhancement of the County Legislation Tracker (CLT) system, launched in October 2023 last year to streamline legislative processes and promote transparency across all 47 counties.

The Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has intensified its investigation into the alleged job scam involving First Choice Recruitment and Consultancy Agency, ordering the arrest of its Director, Judy Chepchirchir.

The proposal for her arrest, made by Sen Alexander Mundigi (Embu), was seconded by Sen Mohammed Faki (Mombasa), who also recommended that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) initiate criminal proceedings against Chepchirchir for defying the Committee’s summons.
