    "content": "Standing Order 210(2) relating to Tabling of Statutory Instruments, this House orders that during the period of the May Long Recess (14th May to 7th June, 2021): (i) should a Bill be published during the said period, or a published Bill become due for First Reading during the period, the Speaker shall, upon lapse of at least seven days following the publication of the Bill, the fulfilment of the provisions of Article 110(3) of the Constitution and following a determination that such Bill is of priority, forthwith refer the Bill to the relevant Committee for consideration pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 127 (Committal of Bills to Committees and public participation) and upon resumption of the House, cause the Bill to be read a First Time and the Second Reading may be taken forthwith, or on such other day as the House Business Committee may determine; (ii) should any statutory instrument be transmitted for tabling before the House during the period, the Speaker shall, following a determination that the statutory instrument is of priority, forthwith refer the statutory instrument to the relevant Committee for consideration and cause the statutory instrument to be tabled in the House during its next Sitting in accordance with the provisions of section 11 of the Statutory Instruments Act (No. 3 of 2013); (iii) should any Paper be transmitted for tabling before the House during the period, the Speaker shall, following a determination that the Paper is of priority, forthwith refer the Paper to the relevant Committee for consideration and cause the Paper to be tabled in the House during its next Sitting; and, (iv) upon the submission of the Report of the relevant Committee on the Vetting of a nominee for appointment as the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya as envisaged under Article 166(1) of the Constitution, the Speaker shall, upon approval of the Report, forthwith cause the Report to be circulated to all Members (in electronic form) ahead of any Special Sittings of the House convened pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 29 to consider the said business, so as to accord Members time to apprise themselves on the contents of the Report Hon. Speaker, this is a Procedural Motion. We do it every time we are going on recess. Basically it is to insure ourselves against delays in the processing of business that comes before the House when we are away. It is to ensure that Bills, Notices and all that can be channelled to the committees so that they can look at them and by the time we come back we report. It is something we do every time we go on a break. I seek Members’ support for this so that as we go home today over the next three weeks, committees, in addition to budgetary matters, can continue with consideration of any urgent matters that will be referred to them without necessarily having to come for plenary before they get to them. It is a very straightforward matter. I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Mbadi, to second."
