Parliament has been named the best government exhibitor for promoting national cohesion and integration at the Mombasa International Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) Show.

If you have watched a sitting of the National Assembly, you may have noticed that the person in the Speaker’s Chair is not always the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses M. Wetang’ula or the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys J. Boss. So, who are the other Members who preside over proceedings of the House?

“Meet the Chairperson’s Panel, often referred to as the Speaker's Panel”. The Panel is part of the leadership structure that helps steer proceedings of the National Assembly and ensures that the business of the House is conducted in an orderly manner.

The Deputy Speaker and Chairperson of the National Assembly Liaison Committee, Hon. Gladys Boss, MGH, MP, has called on Parliamentary Committees to place greater emphasis on the quality and impact of their service.

Speaking at the opening of the Liaison Committee strategic retreat, Hon. Boss said Committee performance should be measured by the quality of legislative output, depth of oversight and the extent to which recommendations deliver meaningful outcomes for Kenyans.

The Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations has directed Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii to improve Eldoret City's own-source revenue so as to sustain its growth, fund critical infrastructure development, achieve financial independence, and deliver essential public services effectively to its residents.

This directive follows deliberations between the committee and county leadership earlier today at Parliament Buildings regarding the governance, financial sustainability, and administrative operationalization of Kenya’s newest city.
