Chimera","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security Defense and Foreign Relations regarding the complete ban of night discos during funerals, commonly known as ‘disco matanga ’ in Kwale County. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) State the reasons for the complete ban of disco matanga by the Government in Kwale County without a proper working framework; (2) Clarify the legal basis for the complete banning of disco matanga in Kwale County since January 2022; (3) Direct the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to develop a practical framework to regulate disco matangas without the associated risks; and lastly, (4) State measures, if any, by the Government that can ensure that the ban is lifted immediately. I thank you."}
