National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has summoned Members of Parliament to a special sitting on Wednesday July 13 from 10am and at 2.30pm.

In a notice to the legislators, 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.

Parliament adjourned indefinitely on June 9, ahead of the August 9th general election. This marked the end of the 12th parliament.

During the special sitting, it is expected  for the lawmakers to deliberate on the  matters on the  County Governments Additional Allocations Bill 2021 to unlock the disbursement of conditional grants to the 47 counties following a court order.

According to the ruling, the parliament was directed to make the necessary legislative interventions saying that that conditional allocation should not be part of the Division of Revenue Act.

Similarly, Muturi added that the members will deliberate on any urgent messages conveyed from the President, National Executive or the Senate.

The Members of the National Assembly will also consider the Huduma Bill 2021 that seeks to introduce Huduma Namba, the Ratification of Defence Cooperation Agreement between the Kenyan Government and the Governments of the Republic of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
