Senate to hold week-long sittings in Kilifi
Senate Speaker Amason Kingi says the activities will strengthen the House's engagement with the people and institutions of Kilifi County.
The Kenyan Senate announces plans to hold a week-long session in Kilifi County from September 21 to 25, 2026. The move aims to bring parliamentary business closer to residents and allow the House to fulfill its constitutional mandate. Speaker Amason Kingi reports that preparations are well underway, with the sessions being held following approval by the Senate on May 5.
In a bid to foster greater public awareness and engagement in parliamentary affairs, the Senate leadership plans to meet with leaders of the Kilifi County Assembly during their time in the region. This initiative is part of a broader effort to take Senate business to counties across Kenya, enhancing public participation and visibility.
In addition to plenary and committee sessions, the week-long program includes visits to local institutions such as the Mtangani Women's Prison, Gede Primary School, and Gede Special School. The Kilifi County Assembly will also host a football match against the Senate to further engage the local community. The activities are intended to strengthen the House's connection with the people and institutions of Kilifi County.
