Presentation of a Legislative Memorandum on the draft IGR Sector Forum Regulations, 2026 before the Senate Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation.

IGRTC Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Kipkurui Chepkwony, accompanied by Director of Legal Services Sophie Amutavy,  appeared before the Senate Standing Committee on Delegated Legislation to present a legislative memorandum on the draft Intergovernmental Relations Sector Forum Regulations, 2026.

The session, chaired by the Committee Vice Chairperson, Sen. Danson Mungatana, focused on operationalizing and strengthening the legal and institutional framework governing intergovernmental structures in Kenya. During his submissions, Dr. Chepkwony emphasized the need to regularize the regulation-making authority to ensure that the mandate is expressly anchored under the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary or any other relevant Cabinet Secretary in relation to the implementation of the Intergovernmental Relations Act, CAP 265F.

He further noted that the provisions of the Act clearly outline the mandate of the IGRTC Secretariat regarding Sector Forums, emphasizing that the draft Regulations must be fully aligned with the parent Act, so as to enhance clarity and effective coordination in the devolved system of government.

Other Senators present during the session included Sen. Julius Murgor Recha, Sen. Mohamed Faki Mwinyihaji, Sen. Daniel Kitonga Maanzo and Sen. Consolata Nabwire Wakwabubi.
