The Parliament of Kenya is set to host the Sixth Annual Conference for the African Network of Parliamentary Budget Offices later this month. The forum which is held in conjunction with the African Network of Parliamentary Budget Offices (AN-PBO) is scheduled to be officially opened by the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula.

The National Assembly Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining chaired by Hon. David Gikaria (Nakuru East) has been briefed on the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill, 2023.

The Amendment Bill sponsored by the Leader of Majority Party Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu)  seeks to provide for regulations of carbon markets.

The Bill seeks to amend the Climate Change Act, 2016; a national legislation intended to enhance response to climate change and provide mechanisms and measures to achieve low carbon climate-resilient development.
