Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi has recalled Members of the National Assembly for a special sitting on Wednesday next week from 10 am and at 2.30 pm.
In a notice to members, Muturi stated that the special sitting was approved at the request of the Majority leader Amos Kimunya.
“Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 29(1) relating to Special Sitting of the House, I have received and acceded to a request from the Leader of the Majority Party to hold Special Sittings of the National Assembly on 13th July 2022,” read the notice in part.
The Members of the National Assembly will among other things discuss the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill 2022, the Huduma Bill 2021 and the Ratification of Defence Cooperation Agreement between the Kenyan Government and the Governments of the Republic of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
Meanwhile, the main business during the special sitting will focus on the consideration of the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill 2021 to unlock the disbursement of conditional grants to the 47 counties following a court order.
The court ruled last year that conditional allocation should not be part of the Division of Revenue Act and directed parliament to make the necessary legislative interventions.
He further pointed out that the members will deliberate on any urgent messages conveyed from the President, National Executive or the Senate.
The National Assembly adjourned indefinitely on June 9, ahead of the August 9th general election. This marked the end of the 12th parliament.
