Additionally, in keeping with the requirements of Standing Order 29 (3), by Kenya Gazette Notice No.5612 of 6th May 2024, I gave notice of today’s Special Sitting. Accordingly, today’s Special Sitting of the House is properly convened. As specified in the said Gazette Notice, and indeed as also notified to all Members and the general public by way of newspaper notification published on 7th May 2024, the purpose of today’s Special Sitting is as follows: 1. Conveyance of any urgent Messages from the President, the National Executive and the Senate. In this regard, I will shortly be conveying a Message from the Senate relating to the passage of Four Bills. 2.

I am notified that the Committee has just adopted its report. At an appropriate stage, after I have acclimatized with the contents of the report, I will allow the Chairperson to table it and thereafter, I will give further guidance as to the next steps. 4.
