Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the special status granted to the Gates Foundation, formerly known as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Through Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 181 of 2024, the Government granted the Gates Foundation special privileges, recognising it as a charitable trust with exclusive rights in Kenya.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
