    "content": "COMMITTAL OF THE PETITION TO THE SENATE BY THE JUSTICE AND LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE OF VIHIGA COUNTY ASSEMBLY Hon. Senators, you may recall that yesterday, the Senator for Vihiga County, Sen. George Khaniri presented a Petition to the Senate on behalf of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee of the Vihiga County Assembly. The Petition is on the alleged violation by the National Registration Bureau of the right of residents of Vihiga County to registration and issuance of national identity cards. You may recall further that pursuant to Standing Order No.227(1), I directed that the petition be committed to the relevant Standing Committee, that is the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. Upon conclusion of my direction, you will recall that the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights sought to have his Committee work together with the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations in considering the Petition, citing the reason that the Petition was from the counterpart Committee of the Vihiga County Assembly. Upon further perusal of the Petition, I have established that, indeed, there are a number of areas in it that touch on the mandate of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights although on the overall, the Petition still falls under the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. Consequently, I now further direct that, in considering the Petition, the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations works jointly with the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. However, in terms of submission of a report to the Senate in accordance with Standing Order No.227(1), the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations will be required to submit the report. I thank you."
