Parliament will resume its sittings on Tuesday afternoon, marking the end of a month-long recess. The lawmakers are expected to tackle a full in-tray, including a debate on the impending evictions in the Mau forest.

According to reports, a breakthrough has been reached in talks over the Division of Revenue Bill 2019, which had threatened to paralyze counties. The mediation committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday will ratify the agreement, with counties expected to receive their allocations as early as next week.

However, the breakthrough may do little to quell the growing rifts between the Senate and the National Assembly. Both houses have accused each other of overstepping their respective mandates.
