The Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights began considering a bill that would require public bodies to develop regulations within 12 months of new laws passed by Parliament. The Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2026, sponsored by Senator Hillary Sigei from Bomet, was discussed on Thursday, September 17, 2026. The proposal aims to streamline the implementation process and ensure timely enforcement of legislation.
Meanwhile, the Institute for Economic Research and Public Policy (IERPP) has raised concerns about the NPA Bill, 2026, arguing that it could negatively impact the operational and financial stability of BOST Energies. The organization is urging Parliament to withdraw or significantly revise the bill. These contrasting developments highlight ongoing debates over legislative processes and their economic implications.
The Senate’s push for a structured timeline reflects efforts to improve governance, while the IERPP’s call for review underscores the potential risks of rushed legislation. Both issues are part of broader discussions on how laws are shaped and enforced in the country.
