As the novel coronavirus continues to spread in the country, the National Assembly proceedings have not been spared. National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi on Thursday said that the House is intending to kick-off the streaming House Committees and plenary sessions of Parliament. Muturi said the streaming will be on various social media platforms, which will ensure maximum utility and public participation. “Challenges still abound on Members of Parliament who are not technology-savvy and who have to rely on others for assistance with accessing or participating in virtual proceedings,” Muturi said. “Other questions that may need to be answered include how compatible the virtual platforms that are to be used are compatible with existing technology," he said.
