The Sports (Amendment) Bill, 2026 has been introduced in the National Assembly. The Bill, sponsored by Hon. Irene Mayaka, seeks to criminalise the manipulation of sporting competitions and strengthen institutions responsible for safeguarding integrity in sports.

If passed, the proposed law will, for the first time, provide a clear legal framework to deal with match manipulation, an issue that has increasingly threatened the credibility of sporting competitions both locally and internationally.

The National Assembly has approved the nomination of Mr. Kosiom Frank Ole Kibelekenya as Kenya’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark.

The approval follows vetting by the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations, which conducted the nominee’s approval hearing on March 4, 2026.

In its report tabled before the House on March 10, 2026, the Committee found Mr. Kibelekenya suitable for the position, noting that he demonstrated the necessary qualifications, experience and integrity required to serve as Kenya’s envoy in Copenhagen.
