Parliament is scheduled to resume its Fourth Session on 11th of February 2025 following a recess period, during which both the National Assembly and the Senate have been on break.
During the upcoming session, the national assembly is expected to reconstitute 18 of its committees, a standard procedure that occurs once Parliament reconvenes from recess.
Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged the Azimio la Umoja coalition leaders to occupy the majority seats in Parliament after the High Court ruled that the Kenya Kwanza coalition is not the House’s majority.
A three-judge bench on Friday ruled that President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza is not the majority and cannot claim seniority status.
Kalonzo therefore holds that the Azimio coalition should take their rightful position pending official House leadership changes.
According to Senate Majority Leader and Kericho County Senator Aaron Cheruiyot, the legislators will prioritize critical financial and legislative matters.
