(3) A legislative proposal: The Sign Language Trainers and Interpreters for the Deaf Bill, 2020. (4) The Draft County Public Service Boards Bill. On The National Museums and Heritage (Amendment) Bill, 2019 (Senate Bills No.7 of 2019), the Committee resolved that the Sponsor should take up the new Bill submitted by the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage. The Committee will table its report on the Bill soon. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with regard to The Persons with Disabilities (Amendment) Bill, 2020 (Senate Bills No.15 of 2020), the Committee has called for written submissions from the public and met the Stakeholders today, Tuesday, 3rd November, 2020. The Committee will table its report after considering views from the public. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Committee also considered a legislative proposal for The Sign Language Trainers and Interpreters for the Deaf Bill, 2020, 2020, proposed by Sen. (Dr.) Alice Milgo and Sen. (Dr.) Gertrude Musuruve, and recommended that the Bill be directed to the Standing Committee on Education after publication and First Reading. The draft County Public Service Boards Bill was also considered during the period under review. The Bill is sponsored by the Committee and seeks to provide for a framework within which the County Public Service Boards would operate. The Committee is still in the process of considering the Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, regarding Statements, pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1), 11 Statements were referred to the Committee. Responses to some of these Statements have been received and the matters concluded, but some are still under consideration due to supplementary questions asked by the Senators on the Statements. The Committee will be meeting the Wajir County Government on the Statement by Sen. Farhiya Ali Haji, concerning alleged stalled payment of sitting allowances to Members of the Wajir Land Tribunal Board on Thursday, 5th November, 2020. On the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Ali Abdullahi on non-remittance of employee statutory deductions, non-payment of work injury benefits and other labour related violations by county governments, the Committee received responses from the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, the Council of Governors (CoG) and the Wajir County Government and shared with the Senator. The Committee is also awaiting response from the National Treasury and will be writing to LAPTRUST and LAPFUND and some SACCOs to get the actual picture. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Committee has noted that non-remittance of statutory deductions, including pension and SACCO funds, are challenges that afflict all counties and will, therefore, be engaging the county governments, including the county assemblies and the National Treasury on the matter.
