This was, however, deferred following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee now plans to visit the site and meet with stakeholders later this month. We had another Statement sought by Sen. Halake on the use of derogatory terms in the Penal Code in reference to mentally challenged victims of sexual violence. On Petitions, we had two Petitions; one by Julius Masiva Obuga on the amendment of the Constitution to delete the cockerel and axe from the Coat of Arms and the Public Seal; and the Petition by Bernard Waheire and Jacqueline Mutere on delayed implementation of the Report of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). We also had another Petition by Abdalla Suleiman and Elkana Kitur on mass examination failure at the Kenya School of Law (KSL); and another one by Sammy Muriuki on lack of support to families of victims of the Ethiopian Air Crash. We also had three more Petitions, which I will not get into. For inquiries, the Committee has undertaken two inquiries during the period under review.

On vetting of appointment to public office, during the period under review, the Committee undertook the vetting of a nominee for appointment to the position of Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), under Article 127(2)(d) of the Constitution. Under other stakeholder engagements, the Committee also undertook this. On county visits, we did not make that, but we are in the process of visiting Nyamira County very soon. On upcoming businesses, in addition to the businesses listed above, the Committee intends to focus on the following during the remainder of the Fourth Session and in the Fifth Session-"
