Parliament will have to amend its Standing Orders to reduce the size of committees if they are to be efficient, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has said. Speaking during the seventh and last leadership retreat of the 11th Parliament in Mombasa, Muturi said the committees are currently bloated and this undermines their effectiveness. Muturi urged the next Parliament to seek more public input in its business, calling that a major challenge for the 11th Parliament. “We must be serious with public participation,” he said. Public participation is one of the cardinal values of the Constitution.
