  "summary": "Two Kenyan citizens have petitioned Parliament to investigate the tenure of KURA Director-General Eng. Silas Murira Kinoti, who has continued to serve beyond the expiry of his term in June 2026. The petitioners, Omondi Charles and Velma Ongalo, are seeking an inquiry into Kinoti's appointment, successive terms, and the legal basis for his continued tenure. They have raised concerns over the amendments made to the Kenya Roads Act in 2025, particularly regarding the tenure of directors-general of road authorities and transitional arrangements for officers already serving in those positions. The petitioners have invoked constitutional principles of governance, public trust, integrity, transparency, and accountability in public service.",
