National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has outlined key issues that MPs will prioritize when they reconvene on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, after their recess.

Reconstitution of the IEBC

Speaking at Chebukwa Catholic Church in Bungoma County on Sunday, September 15, 2024, Wetang’ula emphasized that reconstituting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will be a top priority. He stressed the urgency of addressing boundary reviews and pending by-elections in various wards and constituencies.

Wetang’ula urged those hindering this process to reconsider their positions to enable the country to progress.

“This morning, I joined the faithful at Chebukwa Catholic Church in Bungoma County for a solemn Sunday service, led by Father Protus Michael Osyanju. His words on perseverance, faith, and action for meaningful change resonate as we prepare for Parliament’s resumption. One of our main priorities will be the reconstitution of the IEBC, which is critical for our progress. We cannot afford further delays in boundary reviews or pending by-elections. I urge those obstructing this process to reconsider their stance and allow the country to move forward,” Wetang’ula stated.

He also called on Chief Justice Martha Koome to expedite all court cases related to the IEBC reconstitution. “Equally, I appeal to the Chief Justice to expedite the court cases related to this issue,” Wetang’ula added.

 Focus on Free Education

Additionally, Wetang’ula highlighted that the National Assembly will work on consolidating public educational resources to explore the possibility of offering free education from primary through university.

“Parliament will also focus on consolidating public educational resources to potentially offer free education from primary through university. Such reforms will be instrumental in shaping Kenya’s future. I was accompanied by several MCAs led by the leader of the majority in Bungoma County Assembly, Hon. Juma Nyongesa, among other leaders,” he said.

The MPs went on recess after a motion was tabled by Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, seeking to alter its calendar for the second session as adopted in April this year.
Ichung’wah wanted the parliamentarians to proceed on a month-long holiday from August 25 to September 25.
