    "content": "During the period under review, our Committee held a total of 12 sittings. The Committee is currently considering two Statements by Sen. Malalah on ethnic and regional distribution of high cadre jobs in all Government institutions and agencies; and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., on the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and recent conflicts, as witnessed in some parts of the country. With regard to Petitions, the Committee considered one Petition concerning Kibra IDPs, which was committed to the Committee on 19th November, 2018. The Committee met the petitioners, considered the matter, and it shall meet the CS in charge of Internal Security and Coordination of National Government so as to conclude consideration of the Petition. The Committee held a consultative meeting in Nairobi between 25th June, 2019 and 30th September, 2019, with the National Council of Persons with Disability (NCPWD) on the Government’s constitutional obligation in ensuring the rights of PwDs, as entrenched in the Constitution, is fully implemented. The Committee also met the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to deliberate on the NCIC Report on Ethnic and Diversity Audit on County Public Service Boards (CPSBs). During the period under review, our Committee, between 18th and 30th August, 2019, undertook a fact-finding visit to the East Africa Community (EAC) institutions. During the visit, it is worth noting that the Committee observed and recommended various urgent interventions to support these institutions. It is our humble request to this House to consider and adopt the Committee’s findings to allow the EAC institutions to flourish once again. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Committee intends to carry out the following key activities during the next quarter:- (1) Undertake county visits in regions affected by conflicts, namely Kisumu and Nandi border; Baringo and West Pokot border; Makueni, Taita-Taveta and Kajiado borders, Marsabit, Turkana and Ethiopia borders, and Kitui and Tana River border. (2) Engagement with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development in its policies and laws to ensure integration of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in the design of roads and other public works and other stakeholders on judicial policies to consider parameters for access of justice to include mental disability.
