MPs conclude retreat
The National Assembly mid-term retreat which has been ongoing since Monday ends today.
The lawmakers convened to deliberate on among other issues priority legislation, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and evaluate the effectiveness of parliamentary committees in fulfilling their mandates.
It also provided an opportunity to discuss House business, MPs' welfare, and the role of Parliament in the integration of the East African Community (EAC).
A group of civil society groups in constitutional governance, elections, transparency and accountability, and human rights will address the press on pertinent electoral processes, especially of the country's preparedness.
The platform will highlight the progress of electoral reforms, with a focus on NADCO legislative proposals, the status of public participation in the reform process and the proposed solutions to expedite the IEBC reconstitution while safeguarding electoral integrity.
