The National Assembly is holding a two-day retreat in Mombasa starting Thursday, August 21, to review its mandate and later engage in joint talks with the Judiciary. The primary aim is to foster cooperation while upholding institutional independence, addressing the Assembly's constitutional duties and public perception.

• The retreat, themed “Renewing Leadership Synergy and Comity for Responsible Discharge of the Mandate of the National Assembly,” is presided over by Speaker Moses Wetang’ula.
• On Friday, MPs will meet with Chief Justice Martha Koome and other senior judicial officers for a “colloquium” to discuss mutual obligations and strengthening cooperation while respecting independence.
• Discussions will focus on parliamentary oversight of the Judiciary, parliamentary privilege, and the mutual obligations of both institutions, with a panel including former Zambian Speaker Patrick Matibini and retired Supreme Court Judge Njoki Ndung’u.
