The committee supervising the rollout of the 10-Point Agenda and the National Dialogue Committee report has announced progress in implementing reforms agreed upon by political leaders, pointing to new laws passed by Parliament and ongoing efforts to strengthen governance, economic growth and service delivery.
During a presentation to a joint UDA–ODM Parliamentary Group meeting at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi on Tuesday, committee vice chairperson Javas Bigambo outlined developments achieved in recent months. The report highlighted progress in areas such as devolution funding, health insurance expansion, youth empowerment programmes and measures aimed at improving accountability in government institutions.

Bigambo told the meeting that the oversight team had worked closely with several state institutions to review the status of commitments made under the dialogue process.
“The building of a nation is a project that never comes to an end, and that is why His Excellency President William Ruto has committed to put in place critical measures to ensure that Kenya moves forward,” he said.
According to the committee’s findings, nine legislative proposals linked to the dialogue process have already been submitted to Parliament, with three of them now enacted into law.
These include the IEBC Amendment Act, the Statutory Instruments Amendment Act and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act.
“We have got two other bills that are under mediation, including the Elections Amendment Bill 2023 and the Election Offences Bill 2023,” Bigambo said.
Other proposed laws connected to the reform agenda are still being debated by lawmakers.
The committee also highlighted developments in the management of public resources and strengthening of county governments. It reported that funding allocated to counties has increased over the past few years as part of efforts to deepen devolution.
The equitable share to counties has grown from Sh385 billion to Sh415 billion in the 2025/2026 financial year. The report further indicates that this allocation could rise to Sh450 billion in the coming years.
In the health sector, the committee pointed to the transition to the Social Health Insurance Authority as a major step toward expanding medical coverage.
Bigambo said the number of Kenyans benefiting from health insurance has grown from about seven million to nearly 29.8 million under the new system. He also noted that the universal health coverage programme has been supported by the recruitment of more than 107,000 community health workers nationwide.
Youth programmes were also highlighted in the report as part of the reform agenda’s focus on economic opportunity.
“Over 121,000 youth have received business training, mentorship and startup grants of Sh25,000 as an initial support,” he said.
The committee added that the Nyota initiative has already supported the creation of 20,000 young entrepreneurs aged between 18 and 29 years.
Other milestones listed in the report include the expansion of digital government services and measures aimed at improving transparency in public spending.
More than 23,000 services have now been made available through the eCitizen platform, allowing members of the public to access government services online. The committee also cited the operationalization of the Conflict of Interest Act and the adoption of electronic procurement systems designed to strengthen accountability in public purchasing.
Alongside the progress report, the oversight team issued several proposals intended to speed up the implementation of the reform agenda.
Among the recommendations was a call for Parliament to move quickly in passing the remaining bills linked to the NADCO process.
The committee also proposed the creation of a broad-based mediation team bringing together the Senate and the National Assembly to resolve differences that have delayed some legislative proposals.
In addition, lawmakers were urged to complete the review of pending legal frameworks within 90 days.
The report further recommended increasing resources for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission so that it can prepare effectively for future elections.
Another proposal was the formation of a multi-agency team led by the Office of the Attorney General to manage compensation for individuals affected by protests and cases involving human rights violations.
The committee also suggested changes to the County Governments Act so that development planning at the county level aligns better with long-term projects.
Further proposals included faster investigations into alleged cases of police misconduct by oversight agencies and stronger training and support for the National Police Service in order to improve crowd management and maintain public order.
