Speaking on Tuesday, Lusaka said that the Senate would move its sessions into the counties in a bid to play its oversight role as enshrined in the constitution.

"In August we shall hold our first sitting outside Nairobi in Uasin Gishu County," Lusaka said.

He stressed that the Senate was keen to improve the relationship between the House and governors that has in the past been marred by power struggles.

"The first term of five years in office under devolution was a learning process and senators ended up colliding with governors because they had not understood their roles," he said.

He was speaking during the opening of the devolution conference in Kakamega.
