If you have watched a sitting of the National Assembly, you may have noticed that the person in the Speaker’s Chair is not always the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses M. Wetang’ula or the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gladys J. Boss. So, who are the other Members who preside over proceedings of the House?

“Meet the Chairperson’s Panel, often referred to as the Speaker's Panel”. The Panel is part of the leadership structure that helps steer proceedings of the National Assembly and ensures that the business of the House is conducted in an orderly manner.

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.

Join us for an impactful webinar—"Synchronizing Ai Innovations Legislative Interventions towards Harnessing Ai In Africa"—where we’ll explore how Africa can harness AI through aligned legislative interventions.

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.

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.
