The National Assembly of Kenya will enact additional regulations and enhance budgetary allocations to advance the country’s nuclear energy programme, Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has said.

Hon. Wetang’ula spoke on Wednesday during a meeting with the leadership of Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) and the Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA) at the Parliament Buildings.

The Government has stepped up efforts to promote fair, transparent and responsible digital lending, with the National Treasury outlining a raft of regulatory and policy measures designed to shield Kenyans from exploitation and curb predatory practices in the fast growing credit market.

Appearing before the Senate, Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, John Mbadi detailed the interventions in response to questions raised by Sen Prof Tom Ojienda (Kisumu) and posed on his behalf by Sen Wafula Wakoli (Bungoma).
