President William Ruto has defended his relationship with Parliament, terming the August House an “indispensable partner” in the implementation of his agenda, two years on.
In highlighting Kenya Kwanza’s accomplishments made through Parliament and the current relationship between the House and the executive, the Head of State noted that commendable progress had been made thus far.
In a statement from State House’s communications team, the Head of State explained that his engagement with Parliament over the last two years has led to a collaborative exploration of existing opportunities to enrich Kenya’s democratic experience.
A key milestone, he states, was the re-engineering of parliamentary oversight of the Executive by allowing Cabinet Secretaries to appear in plenaries of both Houses of Parliament to respond to questions raised by MPs. “Since the amendment of the Parliamentary Standing Orders, the National Executive through its Cabinet Secretaries has been offered a structured opportunity to prosecute its legislative agenda and elaborate government policy from the floor of both Houses of Parliament, reads the statement in part.
