Eighteen lawmakers' have been appointed to represent the National Assembly in two Mediation
Committees which have been tasked developing agreed upon versions of the National Disaster Risk Management Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 24 of 2023) and the Startup Bill (Senate Bill No. 14 of 2022).

Making the announcement in the House on 19th August 2025, Speaker of the National
Assembly Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula reminded Members that the Bills had been referred
to mediation following amendments made by the two Houses.

Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Hon. Gladys Boss has lauded the performance of National Assembly Committees, describing them as the “engine room of Parliament”.

Speaking during the National Assembly 3rd Leadership Retreat, Hon. Boss said Committees had demonstrated diligence in their role as representatives, holding 2,115 sittings, 820 meetings by Audit, Appropriations and General-Purpose Committees and 1,295 by Departmental Committees.

National Assembly Majority Leader Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah has raised concerns that widespread misinformation and disinformation are undermining the progress made by Parliament.

He cautioned that the House’s milestones risk being overshadowed by distorted narratives.

Speaking at the 3rd Leadership Retreat in Mombasa, Ichung’wah detailed the Assembly’s performance in the Fourth Session, noting significant legislative and oversight accomplishments.

The Leader of Minority in the National Assembly, Hon. Junet Mohamed, has called on the House to prioritise the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill, 2025, warning that failure to act could cripple the country’s roads programme.

Speaking during the opening of the 3rd National Assembly Leadership Retreat, the Suna East legislator said the Bill that is sponsored by Hon. Peter Kaluma on behalf of the House Legislative Caucus, is critical in addressing constitutional defects identified in the Kenya Roads Board Act.

The Clerk of the National Assembly, Mr. Samuel Njoroge, has outlined key progress and emerging priorities for the House as lawmakers convened for their Third Leadership Retreat in Mombasa.

Mr. Njoroge said the retreat, themed “𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐲”, provides an important opportunity to reflect on past resolutions and chart the way forward in strengthening legislative processes.

National Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang’ula has voiced concern over the frequent issuance of conservatory orders by judges against the National Assembly, saying the practice disrupts the legislative process.

Speaking during a joint session between the National Assembly leadership and the Judiciary on the second day of the Third Leadership Retreat, Wetang’ula noted that several matters before Committees and the House have been halted due to such orders.
