Members, the Liaison Committee is established under Standing Order 217 to, among other things, guide and co-ordinate the operations, policies and mandates of all committees, and give such advice relating to the work and mandate of select committees as it may consider necessary. The Committee consists of the Deputy Speaker as Chairperson, the First Chairperson of Committees who serves as the Vice-Chairperson and the Chairpersons of all committees of the House. Hon. Members, further to the Speaker’s Guidelines of 2nd and 11thApril, 2020 on the Conduct of Sittings of the House and its Committees during the Covid-19 Pandemic period, the Liaison Committee, in keeping with its mandate, has set out a guide specific to meetings and local visits by committees during the ongoing pandemic. The Guide provides for standard operating procedures on the conduct of physical and virtual meetings, as well as local field visits and workshops by committees. Hon. Members, I wish to highlight just a few of those protocols – (i) The chairpersons of a committee and the secretariat shall be physically present in the meeting room in the precincts of Parliament or at a venue approved by the Speaker for holding meetings; (ii) For accountability purposes and validity of decisions taken, Members attending committee meetings virtually are required to be within the precincts of Parliament or at the designated office of the Member within Nairobi City County, at the constituency office, or such other place as the chairperson may permit; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
