Fresh Updates: News in Kenya – President Ruto’s Groundbreaking Amendments

Kenya’s political landscape is experiencing significant transformations under the leadership of President William Ruto. One of the most noteworthy highlights is the recent amendment of 16 Acts of Parliament, aiming to bolster the nation’s legal framework. This article delves into the details, bringing you the latest trending news in Kenya.

Sweeping Legislative Changes

In a recent grand ceremony at the State House in Nairobi, President Ruto signed into law the Statute (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2024. This legislative action marks a milestone in Kenya’s legal history, as it introduces alterations to various provisions of 16 critical Acts of Parliament.

The changes were initiated to remedy several issues, including inadequate staffing in the Attorney General’s office and environmental concerns. Let’s break down these changes one by one.

Strengthening the Attorney General’s Office

One of the major amendments targets the Attorney General’s Office Act. It introduces an advisory board that is tasked with making recommendations regarding the appointment and promotion of deputy attorneys general and state counsel.

The board comprises several high-ranking officials, including the Attorney General, who acts as the Chairperson, and the Principal Secretaries of the Public Service and National Treasury. Other members include the Chairman of the Public Service Commission, the Law Society of Kenya, and the Institute of Human Resource Management.

This amendment is a strategic move to address the issue of inadequate staffing, which has been a longstanding problem in the Attorney General’s office.

Prioritizing Environmental Conservation

In a bold move towards environmental conservation, the Public Holidays Act was amended to rename the Utamaduni Day to Mazingira Day. Celebrated every year on October 10, Mazingira Day is dedicated to environmental conservation activities such as tree planting.

This amendment aligns with the government’s push to accelerate its ambitious 10-year plan of planting 15 billion trees. This initiative aims to restore forests, wetlands, and grasslands, highlighting Kenya’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

Leveraging Technology for Traffic Management

The amendment to the Traffic Act paves the way for the use of technology to address minor traffic offenses. This move is expected to streamline the process of handling traffic violations and improve the efficiency of law enforcement agencies.

Enhancing Economic Safety for Local Producers

The Value Added Tax Act has also been modified to exclude denatured ethanol from the list of VAT-exempt supplies. This move is anticipated to create an economic safety net and offer a competitive edge to local producers of denatured ethanol, particularly millers and sugar producers who have been struggling with cheaper imports.

Boosting Access to Clean Energy

The amendment extends the VAT exemption to the supply of gas meters, aiming to improve access to clean energy for low-income households. This initiative aligns with the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable energy solutions.

Empowering the President with Higher Education Decisions

With the modification of the Universities Act, the President now has the power to establish more than one specialized degree-granting institution specializing in national security issues. This change allows for a more focused approach to national security education.

Streamlining Justice Administration

The new law amends the Oaths and Statutory Declarations Act, replacing the Clerk of the High Court with the Chief Clerk of the Judiciary as the custodian of the list of commissioners. It also grants powers to administer oaths to the Registrar and Deputy Registrar of superior and subordinate courts.

Enhancing Trust Registration Procedures

The Trustee (Perpetual Succession) Act has been amended to give the responsibility of trust registration to the Registrar of Companies. Aimed at streamlining trust registration procedures, this change involves issuing certificates of incorporation, maintaining trust registers, and creating regulations.

Clarifying Public Finance Management

The amendments to the Public Finance Management Act aim to clarify that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury must submit the Finance Bill to the National Assembly by April 30, in accordance with the Act, the Rules of the National Assembly, and court rulings.

Conclusion

These sweeping amendments underscore President Ruto’s commitment to improving Kenya’s legal and institutional frameworks. As we continue to bring you the latest news in Kenya, we will keep an eye on the impacts of these amendments and their contributions to Kenya’s national development.
