MEET THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CHAIRPERSON’S PANEL

If you have watched a sitting of the National Assembly, you may have noticed that the person in the Speaker’s Chair is not always the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses M. Wetang’ula or the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys J. Boss. So, who are the other Members who preside over proceedings of the House?

“Meet the Chairperson’s Panel, often referred to as the Speaker's Panel”. The Panel is part of the leadership structure that helps steer proceedings of the National Assembly and ensures that the business of the House is conducted in an orderly manner.

Members of the National Assembly have passed the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to formally recognise Alternative Provision for Basic Education and Training (APBET) institutions and bring them into Kenya’s basic education framework.

The Bill, sponsored by Mathare MP Hon. Anthony Oluoch, seeks to address a growing gap in the education system where thousands of children, particularly those living in informal settlements and marginalised communities, rely on non-formal schools for access to basic education.
