Nyeri Senator Wamatinga Wahome is the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Energy with nominated Senator Veronicah Maina elected as the Vice Chair.

The Senate comprises twenty committees that all handle different issues.

The Committees are most importantly crucial in aiding the House in the working processes of the Legislatures.

That is to state that they are agents, which enable Legislatures to organize their work in such a way as to perform numerous activities simultaneously and expeditiously.

The committees in addition also act as a means of establishing institutional leadership and visibility in the public arena.
