The Senate is proposing a raft of changes aimed at bolstering security at the Parliament buildings following the deadly breach last year. According to the Senate Clerk, Jeremiah Nyegenye, the upper House is set to deliberate on the means to improve the security of the legislature as part of the new changes. The Senate will be improving public participation as part of the changes.
This is aimed at ensuring Kenyans are included in the discussions and Bills to avoid a repeat of the June 25, 2024 incident.
On June 25, thousands of protesters breached the Parliament Building, where lawmakers were debating the contentious Finance Bill 2024.
Demonstrators managed to break through police barricades and enter the parliamentary complex; however, at least three people were shot and killed during the breach.
