The role of public participation in enhancing democracy has come into sharp focus, at the Parliamentary Service Commission-organized  Third Annual Parliamentary Symposium in Nakuru County. 

The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee led by the Chairperson Hon. George Murugara (Tharaka) vetted Ms. Caroline Nzilani and Hon. Isaac Rutto for appointment as members of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

Hon. Rutto told the Committee that if he gets successful in being appointed, he will ensure that there is fairness in the administration of justice. "My job is basically to represent the public, and to bring their concerns to the Commission not to the Magistrates", said Hon. Rutto.

The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning chaired by Hon. Kuria Kimani (Molo) has today continued receiving submissions, five days into the week-long public hearings on the Finance Bill, 2023.

Live Coverage of Parliamentary Business in both Houses is set for a major upgrade, following a consensus between two key stakeholders on the urgency of the revamp.

The Parliamentary Service Commission Committee on Information and Public Communications and the Hon. David Nanok-chaired Committee on Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library deliberated on a short-term and long-term plan for the roll-out of the revamp.

Members of the National Assembly have intensified their calls to have National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) and National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) entrenched in the Constitution.

Led by  Hon. Mugambi Rindikiri (Buuri) the lawmakers said the two funds have elevated children from disadvantaged backgrounds to get education.

“Through the NG-CDF, we have created doctors, engineers, pilots, administrators, and good citizens. If the NG-CDF was not there, we would not have created these people in our midst,” said Hon. Rindikiri.
