The Speaker of the National Assembly, the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang'ula, met with officials from the Electorate Law and Governance Institute for Africa (ELGIA) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) at his office in the Parliament Buildings.

Speaker Wetang'ula expressed gratitude towards USAID's contributions in guiding Kenya through legislative processes after the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya (2010), and in supporting and nurturing the growth of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). He emphasized the role of ELGIA and USAID in taking up their mandate with utmost dedication, ensuring comprehensive training and orientation for the IEBC Commissioners. 

The Speaker added that by instilling a deep sense of commitment to the rule of law, it is imperative to cultivate a knowledgeable and principled cohort capable of understanding the immense responsibilities at hand, thereby serving the nation diligently. 

During her remarks, Ms. Ludwig highlighted the importance of strengthening trust in institutions, recognizing them as the foundation of democracy. She emphasized that Kenya possesses the necessary structures to offer institutional support, conflict resolution, and peace messaging, as demonstrated during the 2022 elections through the involvement of faith-based organizations.
