Hon. Members, you will recall that on Tuesday, 23rd November 2021, I conveyed a Message from His Excellency the President regarding the 2021 State of the Nation Address to Parliament pursuant to Article 132(1). The Address is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 30th November 2021, at 2.30 p.m. in the National Assembly chamber. Hon. Members, you will agree with me that these are difficult times due to the ongoing global pandemic necessitating reconsideration of some of our processes. In this regard, I wish to guide the House as follows: 1. Akin to the situation during the State of the Nation Address last year, Members of Parliament will not be allowed to invite guests to this year’s event. This is in keeping with the Ministry of Health’s advisory on the capacity of our chamber and other holding areas within the precincts. Additionally, members of the public will also not be invited to the event. 2. The Speakers of the Houses of Parliament have agreed on a sharing formula for the 120 seats available in the National Assembly chamber. Ninety-four seats will be reserved for use by Members of the National Assembly while the rest will be reserved for use 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."
