    "content": "3. The Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on inquiry into the encroachment of riparian areas in Kenya; and 4. The Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on inquiry into the death of 11 black rhinos after translocation to the Tsavo East National Park sanctuary. On Wednesday, 5th August 2020, in the Afternoon Sitting, the following business is scheduled: 1. The Second Reading of the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 57 of 2019), which is a Bill by the Parliamentary Pensions Committee; 2. The Report of the Public Investments Committee on the audited financial statements for State corporations; 3. The Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on the audited financial statements of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) for the constituencies in Kiambu County; and 4. The Report of the Public Investments Committee on the special audit report on procurement of pre-export verification of conformity to standard services for used motor vehicles, mobile equipment and used spare parts by the Kenya Bureau of Standards. In addition to the above, Hon. Speaker, as guided by yourself this afternoon, we will also be looking at the matter of petitions by Hon. Waihenya, which will be included in the business for the Afternoon Sitting. The HBC has taken a deliberate decision to prioritise consideration of Private Members’ Bills and Committee reports that have been pending, as from next week, so as to clear the huge backlog. On this note, I would like to ask Members who have individual Bills that are still pending before Committees to liaise with the Chairs of those Committees so that they can accelerate the processing of the Bills. This is because unless the Committees have brought reports here, the House cannot debate the Bills. So, both the Chairs and the sponsors of the Bills should accelerate that process in the Committees so that the business can come to the Floor of the House. The HBC will reconvene on Thursday, 6th August 2020, to consider business for the week beginning on 11th August 2020. I now wish to lay the Statement on the Table of the House. Thank you."
