House of Representatives — News, Debates and What They Mean

Looking for straight-to-the-point coverage of the House of Representatives? This tag pulls together stories about MPs, parliamentary actions, oversight fights, and laws that affect everyday life across Africa. Expect updates on high-profile representatives, major floor debates, and watchdog actions that come from or involve the House.

What you’ll find here

We gather pieces that show how the House shapes policy and holds power to account. For example, you’ll find articles on MPs like Junet Mohamed and his role in regional diplomacy, reports on calls for investigations into missing student loans in Nigeria, and coverage of national rules that went through parliamentary processes — like Kenya’s new waste-sorting requirements that touch millions of households.

Stories range from breaking debates to follow-ups that explain impact. Want to know why a vote matters? We’ll show who is pushing the bill, who is opposing it, and what it changes for people on the ground. Expect clear headlines, quick summaries, and links to full reports so you can dig deeper.

How to read these updates and take action

Not sure how a parliamentary report affects you? Start by scanning the first paragraph for the outcome: was a bill passed, referred to committee, or blocked? Next, look for key names — the MPs, committees, or agencies involved — so you can follow statements or future hearings.

If a story concerns accountability or a public fund, like the student loan case where activists urged anti-corruption agencies to act, check for listed next steps: investigations, committee summons, or prosecutions. Those signal real movement, not just noise.

Want to stay on top of one issue? Use the tag's search box to filter posts by keyword (for example: "student loans" or "waste management"). You can also subscribe to alerts for the House tag and get short summaries when new stories drop.

We keep things practical: no long legal essays or vague opinion pieces. Each article under this tag aims to tell you who did what, why it matters, and what might happen next. That way you get the facts fast and can follow the story as it develops.

Have a tip or a document linked to a House debate? Send it our way. We use reader tips to follow up on hearings, committee reports, and accountability cases so the reporting stays focused on results, not just rhetoric.

Keep this tag bookmarked for clear, up-to-date coverage of the House of Representatives — from MPs on the floor to committees working behind the scenes.
