Senators to begin 5-day induction retreat

The senate is set to begin a five-day induction retreat in Naivasha on Wednesday.

This is the first time the Senators will converge after their swearing-in on September 9.

This follows their annual inaugural sitting that saw the 68 lawmakers elect former Kilifi governor Amason Kingi as the third Speaker of the Senate.

Effectively, Kingi is deputized by Meru Senator Murungi Kathuri.

Both of whom belong to the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.

During the retreat, the speaker will officially open the conference, whose theme is “Understanding The Mandate of the Senate And Strengthening Devolution Through Legislative Agenda.”

Additionally, the senators will undergo the legislative agenda and the the relationship with constitutional commissions.

Moreover, they will go through the independent offices and matters of national security.

Furthermore, there will be a plenary discussion on media relations and public awareness.

This will be moderated by former journalist and Kitui county senator Enoch Wambua.

The President of the Kenya Editor’s Guild Churchill Otieno and media consultant Mark Kaigwa will be the presenters.

Notable speakers who will be present include; Chief justice Martha Koome, The Attorney General, Treasury, Devolution and Foreign Affairs Cabinet secretaries.
