In a significant development, Members of Parliament (MPs) have halted the progress of recommendations stemming from the presidential working group on educational reforms.
During a parliamentary session, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula made it clear that proceeding with these recommendations without them undergoing the legislative process would be against the law.
Wetangula emphasized the crucial role that MPs play in shaping and passing laws. He stressed that these recommendations must first go through extensive debate and examination within Parliament before gaining official approval.
The Speaker firmly stated, “It’s worth noting that no one, not even government ministers, can assume the authority to create laws or act as though they possess legislative power because they lack the capacity to do so.”
This parliamentary action occurs at a pivotal moment in the ongoing discussions about educational reforms proposed by Deputy President Ruto. It has ignited a debate not only concerning the substance of these reforms but also the appropriate procedures for enacting them into law.
What are your views on Parliament’s decision? Do you believe that a thorough parliamentary discussion should precede the implementation of educational reforms, or do you think the executive branch should have more leeway in this matter? Comment down below.
