The National Assembly has been petitioned to amend the Consumer Protection Act, Cap 501, to formally codify the 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘶𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘮 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦, a safeguard intended to protect borrowers from paying interest that exceeds the original loan principal.

Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Moses Wetang’ula informed the House of a petition from Mr. Allen Waiaki Kishore, a Senior Counsel with Mwai & Allen Advocates.

The National Assembly has approved the appointment of nine nominees to serve as High Commissioner, Ambassadors, and Consuls-General.

The decision followed the adoption of a Report from the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence, and Foreign Relations, which had recommended the approval of all nominees after conducting rigorous vetting earlier this month.

The Committee found the candidates to possess the requisite academic credentials, professional competence, and personal integrity to effectively serve as stewards of Kenya's presence on the global stage
