    "content": "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 and approval of the Reports of the relevant Committees on the vetting of nominees for appointment to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the Vetting of nominees for appointment to the Teachers Service Commission, the Hon. Speaker shall forthwith cause the Reports 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 with the contents of the reports. Hon. Speaker, this is a Procedural Motion that we do at every instance when the House is just about to go on a recess. It is to basically cater for House business that will be transacted now that we will not be here for First Readings, committal of Bills, Reports, Petitions or Statutory Instruments to Committee. Most importantly, I just want to draw the attention of Members that we have two tasks that are currently before Committees, that is, the vetting of nominees for commissioners to the IEBC and vetting of commissioners to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). Both have a deadline that will expire while we are on recess. I want to also give notice to Members that we will be asking you to come for a Special Sitting so that we can meet those constitutional deadlines. However, for purposes of preparing for that eventuality, immediately the reports are out, we will not have the time for those reports to be tabled here. So, you can pick them and guide your debate in terms of discussing the vetting. This Motion will now allow, the Hon. Speaker to order the circulation to all of us as if they had been tabled so that you can read the reports. When we come on the appointed day, it will be to process the business rather than go through the motions of tabling the reports where we normally ask for timeout to go and read, then come back to discuss the nominees. That is the only new thing in addition to the usual that we do during the recess period in terms of Papers, Instruments, and Bills. So, Hon. Speaker and Members, I would like to ask for your support on this matter. We will next assemble to just clear with the nominees but without having to go through the technicalities of how we handle the report. I am sure everything else will proceed in the Committees for all the businesses that would have been received in accordance with this Procedural Motion. I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi to second."
