The Senate has been holding its sittings dubbed ‘Senate Mashinani’ in Turkana County from September 25th to 29th.
On Tuesday, September 26, the Senators deliberated on a motion by the Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot conveying a resolution by the Senate Business Committee that settled on Turkana County as the host County.
According to the Senate Business Committee, the sittings are meant to provide interlinkage between the National and County levels of government and enhance the interaction between the Senate and county governments as a means of bringing the Senate closer to the counties and the general public.

The Senators noted that there are several successes that have been realized as a result of holding the sittings outside Nairobi.
Earlier sittings were held in Uasin Gishu and Kitui counties in September, 2018 and in September, 2019, respectively.
The Senate Mashinani was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to Covid-19 pandemic.
