Members of the National Assembly are clashing over the proposed National Infrastructure Fund Bill, with significant concerns raised about executive influence and oversight.

• Critics argue the bill grants excessive control to the Treasury Cabinet Secretary, potentially overriding parliamentary oversight.
• Proponents, including Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, believe the fund is crucial for financing development without increased borrowing, aiming to unlock trillions for neglected areas.
• The bill, which has divided the House, proposes a board with potential for consolidation and is seen by some as lacking clarity and fair distribution mechanisms, with one MP warning it could be declared unconstitutional.
