On HPV vaccination, she sought clarity on uptake across counties, the transition from a two-dose to a single-dose schedule and measures to address misinformation about the vaccine.

She also called for answers on child marriage, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), sexual abuse and human trafficking in Garissa, seeking information on reported cases, prosecution, the establishment of safe houses and stronger mechanisms to protect survivors.

The requests have been referred to the relevant Senate Committees for consideration.

KEWOPA celebrates a major legislative milestone as the National Assembly passes the Health (Amendment) Bill, 2024, sponsored by Kirinyaga County MP @Hon_Njeri_Maina .

This pivotal legislation seeks to criminalise the detention of patients and deceased bodies over unpaid hospital bills, while mandating emergency treatment across all health facilities without demanding upfront payments.

We applaud Hon. Maina for leading this critical reform to protect human dignity and look forward to the Bill's progression in the Senate.

Participants were urged to reject political goonism, uphold electoral accountability and embrace issue-based politics as Kenya prepares for the 2027 General Election.
Peaceful elections and inclusive democracy require collective responsibility.

Moving Motion 003/2026 in Parliament, Hon. Wamuchomba called on the CS for Energy & Petroleum to formulate a National Policy on Power Subsidies for Export-Oriented Agricultural Production. Lower power tariffs for coffee, tea, avocado, and cut-flower producers will level the playing field against regional competitors in Tanzania and Ethiopia, create thousands of rural jobs, and boost export earnings as Kenya enters Chinese markets.

How can women and young people overcome these barriers and participate meaningfully in political leadership and decision-making?

As Kenya moves towards the 2027 General Election, building an inclusive democracy requires deliberate action to expand opportunities for women and youth.
