    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42A, I rise to give a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met today at 9.30 a.m. to prioritize business for consideration. On Tuesday next week, we will consider the Committee of Supply on the Budget Estimates of Recurrent and Development expenditure for the year ending 30th June 2021, in both the morning and afternoon sittings. It is our hope that we should conclude the Committee of Supply by the end of the afternoon sitting on Tuesday so as to pave way for the publication of the Appropriations Bill, 2020 that ends the budget cycle for 2020/2021. It is also anticipated that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning will table its report on the Finance Bill, 2020 on Tuesday, 16th June 2020 and, thereafter, prioritize the Bill for Second Reading on Thursday, 18th June 2020. It is important for Members to note that both the Finance Bill, 2020 and the Appropriations Bill, 2020 ought to be passed and ready for assent by His Excellency the President by 30th June 2020 in accordance with the provisions of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 as amended by the House last year. It is for this reason that the House Business Committee has given priority to these Bills to be considered before the end of the month. On Motions, there will be approval of the Mediated Version of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017), the Mediated Version of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 7 of 2017), the Second Reading of the Refugees Bill, 2019 and the Committee of the whole House on the Tea Bill (Senate Bill No. 36 of 2018). Finally, the House Business Committee will reconvene on Thursday, 18th June 2020 to consider business for the coming week. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
