Pursuant to Standing Order No.238(1), I committed the Petition to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for consideration. Hon. Senators, subsequent to the committal of the Petition to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, vide a letter reference JLHARC/SSM/2024/10, dated 24th September, 2024, I received a request from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to redirect the Petition to the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. In the letter, the Chairperson stated that during the consideration of the Petition by the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, the committee observed that the subject of relations between County Governors and their deputies as well as the mandates and functions of Deputy Governors, was under active consideration by the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. The Chairperson further observed that the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations was also in the process of considering a legislative proposal seeking to amend Section 32 of the County Governments Act to provide for definitive roles for the Office of the Deputy Governor. Hon. Senators, having considered the matter as requested by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I hereby redirect the Petition submitted by Mr. Japheth J. Makokha to the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. The Committee will be required to table a report on the Petition in not more than 60 calendar days from today, 1st October, 2024, pursuant to Standing Order No.238. I thank you."
