Parliament sets dates for oath administering to the newly elected MPs
Parliament sets dates for oath administering to the newly elected MPs as the first house sitting is set to be convened next week.
Members of Parliament-elect have been directed to submit their updated Curriculum Vitae (CV), among other requirements, ahead of their first house sitting.
The National Assembly’s first sitting of the House will be held on Thursday, August 25, and Friday, August 26, according to Serah Kioko, acting clerk of the National Assembly.
The first session will involve administering the Oath, also known as the Affirmation of Office, to MPs-elect, according to a notice dated Friday, August 19.
“They shall also be taken through an orientation which includes registration of the Members, collection of bio-data information, issuance of parliamentary identification cards, briefing on the use of the Chamber voting system, a tour of Parliament Buildings, and briefings by the Office of the Clerk on essential legislative matters, among others things,” the notice read in part.
During the first sitting, the MPs-elect will be facilitated to register for various services and facilities available, including medical insurance.
The documents members must carry during the orientation sessions include the original National Identity Card or Passport, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Personal Identification Number (PIN), and original Certificate of the Elected Member of the National Assembly issued by the IEBC Returning Officer.
The notice explained that detailed information on the election of the House Speaker and their deputy by the MPs would be provided.
This will be followed by the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly at the same sitting.
“More information on the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker will be availed after the notification of the date of the first sitting of the House by the President,” the notice states.
Kioko further notified former MPs to urgently conclude any pending administrative clearances to facilitate a smooth transition of the 13th Parliament.
