National Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula, SC, has urged legislators to align budgetary decisions with underlying policy priorities to ensure meaningful public impact.

Speaking when he officially opened the four-day retreat for Members of the National Assembly in Nakuru County, Speaker Wetang’ula said careful consideration of budget estimates is essential if Parliament is to meet public expectations.

Members of the National Assembly have urged for stronger enforcement and transparency in the regulation and financing of political parties ahead of the 2027 General Elections, emphasizing the need to safeguard the country’s democratic integrity and ensure fair political competition.

During the ongoing 2026 Legislative Retreat in Naivasha, the legislators engaged the Registrar of Political Parties, Mr. John Cox Lorionokou, on emerging challenges in political parties’ regulation, financing, and compliance.
