NATIONAL ASSEMBLY LIAISON COMMITTEE PUSHES FOR GREATER IMPACTFUL IN OVERSIGHT

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.

The National Assembly has passed the County Library Services Bill, 2024 (Senate Bill No. 40 of 2024), setting the stage for a structured system of public library services across the 47 counties.

The Bill seeks to provide a legal framework for the establishment and management of county libraries, with county governments taking responsibility for delivering library services to communities.

Members of the National Assembly have passed the Basic Education (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which seeks to formally recognise Alternative Provision for Basic Education and Training (APBET) institutions and bring them into Kenya’s basic education framework.

The Bill, sponsored by Mathare MP Hon. Anthony Oluoch, seeks to address a growing gap in the education system where thousands of children, particularly those living in informal settlements and marginalised communities, rely on non-formal schools for access to basic education.
