National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has praised the late MP, Hon. Johana Nge’no, as a dedicated progressive legislator who cared for his constituents and the country.

Speaker Wetang’ula described the late Ng'eno as a straightforward legislator and a principled man.

A total of 1,272 compensation claims by police officers injured in the line of duty have been successfully paid, the Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations has been told.

The National Police Service Commission which appeared before the Committee on Thursday, revealed that as at 28th February 2026, a total of 1,954 claims relating to the 2021/2022 financial year had been lodged with the National Hospital Insurance Fund, now operating as the Social Health Authority.

The Senate Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has received wide-ranging submissions on the proposed Public Service Internship Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 63 of 2022), with the Public Service Commission (PSC) defending its centralised recruitment model even as Senators pressed for stronger absorption pathways and broader reform of work-based learning.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula led Members of the Parliament and Senate in celebrating the life of Johana Ng'eno, MP Emurua Dikirr, and five others.

In his capacity as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), Speaker Wetang’ula commended the Parliament team tasked to organise funeral plans for the victims of the Nandi helicopter crash that claimed the lives of six on board.

The National Assembly has paid tribute to the late Member of Parliament for Emurua Dikirr Constituency, Hon. Johana Ng’eno Kipyegon, following his untimely death in a helicopter crash in Nandi County.

The tributes followed a formal Communication from the Speaker, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula, who informed the House of the tragedy and reflected on the late legislator’s life, service, and legacy.

The Council of Governors (COG) has intensified its push for a larger share of the Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), urging the Senate to amend the Kenya Roads (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill, 2025 to allocate 42 percent of the fund to county governments.

Appearing before the Senate Roads, Transport and Housing Committee, COG Transport, Infrastructure and Energy Committee Chairperson Kimani Wamatangi argued that the proposed 5 percent allocation to counties is inconsistent with both the Constitution and the reality on the ground.
