“As from Tuesday, April 23, 2019, there will be no physical Order Paper that will from time to time be provided in the chamber,” Mr Muturi directed. “MPs will henceforth be able to access all documents from the application on the equipment,” he said. The use of the gadgets will ease access to the order paper, motions, Bills, petitions, Speaker’s rulings, proposed amendments to Bills and memoranda. National Assembly Clerk Michael Sialai said that the paperless solution will be implemented progressively starting with the order paper. It is not clear when the Senate will roll out its paperless solution but its debating chamber is already fitted with 68 tablets.
