According to Parliament's Standing Orders, the legislators must be taken through an induction before the official resumption of the house.

The exercise which involves taking the legislators through the operations and procedures of the House is geared towards equipping them with tools to effectively execute their mandate.

Following the recent ruling by the Supreme Court of Kenya declaring the Constituency Development Fund Act, 2013 as unconstitutional, the MPs will be informed on the consequences of this ruling and the future of the National Government Constituency Development Fund.

Among the facilitators expected to address the forum include the president of the Supreme Court Justice Martha Koome and Central Bank of Kenya Governor Patrick Njoroge.

Speaking during the opening remarks, Wetang'ula said he is in talks with SRC over the matter.

The Speaker promised that before the end of the week, he will inform the MPs of the progress made on the matter.

SRC also touched on the mileage allowances of the MPs which resulted in car grants for all state officials being scrapped, resulting in MPs being paid car maintenance allowance at a rate of Sh356,525 per month.

MPs will also be reimbursed a claimable mileage of one return journey per week at the rate of 116.63 per kilometre, based on a car of engine capacity not exceeding 3000cc.
