This includes the consideration and passage of Bills, Motions, Petitions, Questions, among others. The areas through which significant impact was made by the National Assembly in the Third Session include passage of Bills; adoption of Motions aimed at, among other things, addressing procedural questions, seeking resolutions on various issues; consideration of Petitions from the public on various issues of concern; adoption of Reports; vetting of nominees to state and public offices with the aim of ensuring sound leadership in the management and running of public affairs; and the adoption of national policies emanating from the Executive such as Sessional Papers, Statutory Instruments. The House was also involved in analysis and passage of the national budget, and the ratification of agreements, conventions, treaties and protocols made between the National Government and other States/Governments/International Organizations. Notably, and in keeping with the constitutional requirements, the House continued to engage the public in the affairs of National Assembly through a variety of avenues. It is observed that, being around the mid-term period of the 12th Parliament, most Members had settled into their legislative duties with active participation. There was an increase in the number of Members requesting to introduce legislative proposals in the House and the number of motions, questions and petitions also on the rise. Instructively, there has been increased vigour in the debates of the House with some Members creating a niche in their areas of specialization through floor debates. It is my hope that the content and information in this Report shall provide Members of Parliament, Parliamentary Staff, various stakeholders and the general public with critical information on the workings and business of the National Assembly. I wish to take this opportunity to appreciate all officers for their team spirit and dedication during the Third Session of the 12th Parliament. I wish you all a fruitful remainder of the Fourth Session. MICHAEL R. SIALAI, EBS CLERK OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY August 2020 4 1.0 INTRODUCTION The National Assembly resumed its sittings on Tuesday, 12th February, 2019 after the 2018 December recess.

  • Ethnobotanical Survey of Medicinal Plants Used for Treatment of Malaria by Kipsigis People in Kericho County, Kenya
    IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) e-ISSN:2278-3008, p-ISSN:2319-7676. Volume 13, Issue 4 Ver. VI (Jul – Aug 2018), PP 24-30 www.iosrjournals.org Ethnobotanical Survey Of Medicinal Plants Used For Treatment Of Malaria By Kipsigis People In Kericho County, Kenya. Bwogo ChepchumbaPacifica,Dr. Benson Nyanchongi, Dr. Rael Masai Kisii University, Corresponding Author: Bwogochepchumba Pacifica Abstract: Background: Ethnobotanical pharmacopoeia is importantly used in intervention of disease and need arises for documentation and preservation of tradition medicinal knowledge to boost the discovery of new drugs. Due to the emergence of drug resistance to malaria, there is a high possibility of development of resistance to ACT (that is the first line of treatment), thus a need for identification and development of new and novel therapeutic approaches. Herbs offer an opportunity for discovery and development of new chemically diverse antimalarial agents, however little documentation has been done. The first objective of the present study was to identify and document preferred medicinal plants used for treatment of malaria in Kericho East Sub- County. Methods: Field research was conducted in six Sub- Counties of Kericho County in Kenya namely Kipkelion East, Kipkelion West, Kericho West, Kericho East, Sigowet/Soin and Bureti. We randomly sampled 120 interviewees according to age, gender, occupation and level of education. Plant use data was collected through semi-structured questionnaires; transect walks, oral interviews and focus groups discussions. Voucher specimens of all cited botanic species were collected and deposited at National museum herbarium, Nairobi Botany department. Results Twenty medicinal plant species were yielded from the informants which are used to treat different symptoms and signs of malaria including; headache, fever, diarrhea, stomach-ache.
