I ask you to make an official communication on the Bills that the Senate had forwarded to the National Assembly. You had communicated to me to have those Bills sponsored jointly by the Members of the Senate and the National Assembly but I would like to state that, that is additional work.

I do not know what he is pleading with Sen. Omanga, but I think your order should have been physical distance and he wears his mask. Whatever he is pleading, he can do it outside.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a straightforward Motion. We cannot sit outside Nairobi because of the prevailing circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this Session we should postpone this visit to another time. I second.
