    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, the Committee considered 15 orders related to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) restrictions and measures put in place to curb the spread of the pandemic. One of the challenges faced by the Committee is that orders are transmitted to the Senate when they have already lapsed or have only a few days left before they lapse. The Committee resolved not to scrutinize a number of instruments, as this has been an exercise in futility. These concerns were raised with the Ministry of Health on 9th September, 2020 on the delays in transmitting the statutory instruments, and further raised issue on the lack of public participation on the orders. The Committee noted that the Ministry had endeavoured to ensure faster processing of the regulations with the Office of the Attorney-General. The Committee, therefore, only acceded to the Public Health (COVID-19 Restriction of Movement of Persons and Related Measures) (Dadaab Refugee Complex) (Kakuma Refugee Complex) Order, 2020 and raised further concerns with the Ministry of Health on the Public Health COVID-19 General Public Safety Rules, 2020, which do not have stipulated timelines. The following is a list of the COVID-19 related orders referred to the Committee- (1) The Public Health (COVID-19 Restriction of Movement of Persons and Related Measures) (Nairobi Metropolitan) (Extension) Order. (2) The Public Health (COVID-19 Restriction of Movement of Persons and Related Measures) (Mombasa County) (Extension) Order. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
