Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: Pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I rise to seek leave for adjournment of the House in order to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding closure of business premises and destruction of property during illegal demonstrations in the country. On Monday, 20th March 2023, the country experienced demonstrations in various parts including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Kitale leading to widespread closure of businesses, destruction of property and injuries to citizens. There is great concern in many Kenyans that should these illegal demonstrations continue on a weekly basis as indicated by the organisers, we are likely to experience further losses of property and even lives. The net effect of such closure of businesses and property will have a negative effect on the already struggling economy which the agitators seek to improve. In addition, the kind of lawlessness being experienced in urban centres will lead to shifting of investors’ interests in our country. The Constitution provides that for every right or freedom guaranteed, there is a corresponding obligation and responsibility. Hon. Temporary 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."
