A Member of Parliament has called for urgent government action to address the growing burden of endometriosis among Kenyan women and girls, warning that delayed diagnosis and costly treatment are leaving many to suffer silently for years.

Kirinyaga County MP Hon. Njeri Maina said endometriosis should no longer be treated merely as a private medical problem, arguing that the condition has significant public health, social and economic consequences.

Members of the National Assembly have raised concerns over the high cost of conducting

elections in Kenya as they debated the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bill No.

29 of 2024) at Second Reading.

The Bill, which is among the electoral reform measures arising from recommendations of the

Parliament is set to take its legislative work closer to the people through the establishment of
Parliamentary Corners in both National and County libraries.

Kenyans will access Bills, Hansard reports, Motions, legislative resolutions, research materials
and other official parliamentary records without necessarily traveling to Nairobi.
This follows the adoption of a report of the Select Committee on Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library by the National Assembly.
