Senate News: Latest Bills, Debates and Investigations

Want straightforward updates about the Senate? This tag brings you fast, clear reports on what lawmakers are debating, how they vote, and which inquiries are catching fire. We cut through the noise so you know what matters to citizens, farmers, businesses, and voters across the continent.

Expect a mix of breaking stories, deep reads and clear explainers. You’ll find reports on political tensions that shape national decision-making, courtroom and oversight drama that involve public figures, and policy moves that affect daily life — from fuel taxes to big infrastructure projects.

What you’ll find here

Short news briefs that tell you the outcome of key Senate votes. Articles that explain a bill in plain terms — what it would change and who wins or loses. Profiles and timelines that show which senators matter on each issue. And analysis that links a parliamentary debate to everyday concerns, like food prices, energy, or trade.

Examples from our recent coverage: “Gachagua’s Absence Sends Kenyan Opposition Scrambling for Direction” looks at how leadership gaps change political strategy. “Abacha’s Influence Behind the 1993 Election Annulment” uncovers historical claims that still shape trust in government. We also include legal and accountability stories tied to public figures and institutions.

Take practical effects: a Senate debate over a fuel levy can push food costs up and change household budgets — that’s why we report on hearings that involve farmers and consumers. We also track oversight into big projects, like statements from companies on refineries and budget scrutiny. That makes national politics relevant to your wallet, local services and jobs.
