The National Assembly will read the National Infrastructure Fund Bill, 2026, for a second time on February 24, 2026. The Bill sets up a corporate body to fast-track national infrastructure projects by mobilising private and non-traditional finance. The Fund draws resources from privatisation proceeds, parliamentary allocations, and loans. As a Money Bill, it ensures strict financial transparency and parliamentary oversight.
The upcoming Court of Appeal judgment on February 27, 2026, will determine whether the 2025 ruling that stripped the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) of its authority to recruit constables will be upheld or overturned. The dispute arises from a constitutional clash between the NPSC and the Inspector-General of Police (IG) over the authority to recruit. In October 2025, the Employment and Labour Relations Court ruled that the NPSC lacked the mandate to conduct recruitment, placing the function under the IG. The NPSC challenged this decision, arguing that it undermines its constitutional role in ensuring transparency, fairness, and merit-based recruitment. The appeal’s outcome will have significant implications for future police recruitment and institutional authority within the National Police Service (NPS).
