Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Petition to the Senate on behalf of Secondary school suppliers concerning delayed payments for commodities supplied. I, the undersigned on behalf of Kenya Public Secondary School suppliers and Exhibiters, draw the attention of the Senate on the following- That, the Government of the Republic of Kenya has introduced various measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 Pandemic in the country which have enabled contain the spread of the disease; That further, the Government of Kenya has initiated numerous measures to cushion small and medium enterprises from the effects of the COVIS-19 pandemic in order to keep them afloat; That on 15th March, 2020, the Government abruptly closed all schools countrywide in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19; That early this year the petitioners supplied commodities worth millions of shillings to public secondary schools. That the closure of schools occasioned loss of livelihood for the school suppliers as this is the main business; That to date, the suppliers have already supplied the commodities to public secondary schools during the first term of the academic year 2020, are yet to be paid. Most suppliers heavily depend on loans from financial institutions to run their business. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
