    "content": "got a date, he will then inform the House. He is holed up with his Committee on matters of the Budget. Otherwise, he would have been here. He is always here. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(a), I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee which met on Tuesday, 16th February 2021, to prioritise business for consideration. On Tuesday next week during the Afternoon Sitting, we shall consider the following Bills in the Committee of the Whole House. Just in case Members have forgotten, that is where we will be considering the Third Reading. We have not done it in a while. (1) The Refugees Bill, 2019; (2) The Health Amendment Bill, 2019, which is a Private Members Bill; and (3) The Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill (Senate Bill No.17 of 2018). We will also continue with the Second Reading of the following Bills, both in the Afternoon and Evening Sittings, if we do not conclude them today: (1) The Kenya National Library Service Bill of 2020, which we will start today; (2) The Kenya National Blood Transfusion Service Bill of 2020; (3) The County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.13 of 2018); (4) The National Cohesion and Peace Building Bill (Senate Bill No.35 of 2018); (5) The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) (No.3) Bill of 2019; (6) The County Statutory Instruments (Senate Bill No.21 of 2018); (7) The Impeachment Procedure Bill (Senate Bill No.15 of 2018); and (8) The County Law Compliance and Endorsement Bill (Senate Bill No.25 of 2018). The House Business Committee also prioritised consideration of several statutory instruments from the Committee on Delegated Legislation. The House is also expected to consider the 2021 Budget Policy Statement next week. I, therefore, urge the departmental committees and the Budget and Appropriations Committee to urgently conclude their work in this regard to enable the House to finalise the matter within the stipulated timelines. The House Business Committee will reconvene on Tuesday, 23rd February 2021, at 11.00 a.m. to schedule business for the coming week. I now wish to lay this Statement on the Table of the House."
