NAIROBI, Kenya – The National Assembly will convene a special sitting this Friday, October 18, ahead of a planned short recess that begins next week.
The recess is set to start on Tuesday, October 22, a day after the country marks Mashujaa Day.
Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah will table a motion during the House’s Wednesday session, seeking to adjust the parliamentary calendar.
According to the order paper, the motion will invoke Standing Orders 28(4) and 30(3)(c), allowing MPs to alter their schedule and hold sessions on Friday, beginning at 9:30 a.m. for the morning sitting and 2:30 p.m. for the afternoon sitting.
