    "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 (HBC) which met on Tuesday, 11th May 2021 to prioritize business for consideration. Hon. Speaker, Members will recall that on 4th May 2021, the House adopted a resolution to amend the 2021 Calendar, which has the effect of shortening the May recess by one week owing to the urgent business we were considering. As such, the House is now scheduled to proceed for recess from tomorrow Friday, 14th May 2021 and resume its regular sittings on Tuesday, 8th June 2021. Hon. Members may also wish to note that the vetting of the nominee for the key position of Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya, the Hon. Lady Justice Martha Koome is in progress. I am told that the Committee is in the process of writing the Report, having vetted her this morning. There are certain statutory timelines associated with the conclusion of that process. Therefore, the House may be recalled in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order No.29 for a Special Sitting at the appropriate time to consider the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on the vetting of the nominee for appointment as Chief Justice and any other urgent business that may arise during the recess period. Hon. Speaker, currently there are no Questions scheduled for response by Cabinet Secretaries in the coming week. Therefore, the Departmental Committees will mainly focus on consideration of the Budget Estimates for Financial Year 2021/2022. Hon. Speaker, the House Business Committee will convene on Monday, 7th of June 2021 to schedule business for the week of resumption of the House. I now wish to lay the Statement on the Table of the House. 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"
