The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Select Committees on Public Debt and Privatization and Budget and Appropriations held a joint retreat with the National Treasury and Economic Planning.

The retreat covered key issues including revenue management, fiscal risks management and county public finance management; public investment and portfolio management; and public private partnerships (PPPs).

Members of the National Assembly have raised concern that the National Government has not only caused significant delays but has also failed in its duty to compensate citizens for the lands acquired for infrastructural projects.

The legislators noted that a number of Kenyans find themselves trapped in severe destitution due to the Government's forceful acquisition of their lands without compensation.
