Soy MP Caleb Kositany has written to the Speaker of National Assembly Justin Muturi proposing a Bill scrapping the Senate, Nominated MP, and MCA posts. "I wish to state that the objective of the Bill is to reduce the overall cost of representation of the public, reduce the wage bill and promote use of public funds." Numerous past attempts were grounded on duplicate roles, high wage bill among others. In March 2017, former Senate speaker Ekwee Ethuro and Senators trashed recommendations by a committee of the National Assembly to scrap the Senate. Ethuro at that time suggested that it is the National Assembly that should be scraped as it has more MPs.
