    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(a), I rise to give a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee which met today, Thursday, 2nd July 2020 at 10.00 a.m., to prioritise business for consideration. The House is scheduled to proceed on a short recess commencing tomorrow in accordance with the Calendar of the House as amended on Tuesday, 30th June 2020. In this regard, the House Business Committee has not scheduled any business for next week. However, upon resumption from recess on Tuesday, 28th July 2020, the following business will be prioritised: There will be consideration in the Committee of the whole House of the Tea Bill (Senate Bill No.36 of 2018), if we do not commence or conclude it today, and the Gaming Bill (National Assembly Bill No.38 of 2019). We will also be considering the Second Reading of the Refugees Bill (National Assembly Bill No.62 of 2019), if we do not conclude it today. We will also be considering the Preservation of Human Dignity and Enforcement of Economic and Social Rights Bill (Senate Bill No.27 of 2018) and the County Law Compliance and Enforcement Bill (Senate Bill No.25 of 2018). There will also be consideration of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2020 and Third Generation Allocation Formula for counties. The two instruments are before the Senate and should they be received next week, they may be referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for consideration and thereafter, the House may be recalled for a special sitting to consider them. On the other hand, should the recess end before the two documents are submitted to the National Assembly, they shall be referred to the relevant committee for consideration, pursuant to the Procedural Motion that was passed on June 30th. You may also recall that the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is currently considering the nominee submitted by His Excellency the President for approval as the Auditor-General. Further aware that the House, by a Resolution passed on 30th June, extended the time for consideration of the nominee by a further period of 14 days from 8th July 2020. It, therefore, means that the extended timeline will lapse on 21st July when we will still be on recess. In this regard, we anticipate that the House will be recalled for a special sitting to consider the nominee. The House Business Committee will reconvene on 30th July 2020, to consider business for the week beginning 4th August 2020. I wish to lay this Statement on the Table of the House."
