The National Assembly Departmental Committee on Health chaired by Hon. (Dr.) Robert Pukose (Endebess) heard that a letter authored by the Head of malaria unit at the Ministry of Health allegedly raising an alarm about an error in the Global Fund advertising tender may have led to the botched procurement of Kshs.3.7 billion worth of anti-malaria nets. 

The National Assembly Public Debt and Privatization Committee led by the Vice Chairperson Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu met with officials from the National Treasury led by the  Principal Secretary (PS), National Treasury and Economic Planning Dr. Chris  Kiptoo who made submissions on the Public Finance Management (Amendment) BIll (2023).

The National Assembly Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committee chaired by Hon. Nelson Koech adopted a proposal to launch an inquiry into activities of the British Army Training Unit in Kenya (BATUK) in Nanyuki, Laikipia County.

Members  proposed the inquiry following complaints raised by residents and key stakeholders on past conduct of the British soldiers in the County, during the Committee's recent consideration of the Kenya-UK Defence Cooperation Agreement.

Members of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security expressed concern over the recent conflict over mandates between the Inspector-General (IG) of the National Police Service and the National Police Service Commission (NPSC).

Members were speaking when they held a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration Prof. Kithure Kindiki in Parliament.
