    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a Statement by the Leader of the Majority Party. 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 (HBC) which met on Tuesday, 9th November 2021, to prioritise the business for consideration: Let me take this opportunity to officially welcome Members back from the short recess period. It is my hope that we have all had a chance to rest and rejuvenate while also interacting with our families and constituents and that we are reenergised for the coming weeks. I also do hope that the Committees have utilised this time to consider and finalise most of the business at their disposal to give room for consideration and substantive debate by the House. As we are all aware, time is of the essence at this juncture and there is need to ensure that we fast track consideration of all urgent business in these final weeks of the Fifth Session. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on Tuesday, 16th November 2021, the House is scheduled to continue with the Committee of the whole House on the Waqf Bill 2019 which began yesterday. We shall also continue consideration of the following Bills at Second Reading: 1. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (Amendment) Bill, 2020; 2. The National Electronic Single Window System Bill, 2021; 3. The County Governments Grants Bill (Senate Bill No. 35 of 2021); 4. The Asian Windows’ and Orphans’ Pensions (Repeal) Bill, 2021; 5. The Provident Fund (Repeal) Bill, 2021; 6. The Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No. 22 of 2021); 7. The Community Groups Registration Bill, 2020; and 8. The Mediation Bill, 2020. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am reliably informed that there are no Questions scheduled to be responded to by CSs in the coming week. It is my hope that this will accord the Committees more opportunity to expedite preparation of reports on pending business before the House."
