    "content": "Hon. Members, as you are aware, the House is scheduled to proceed on a long recess from tomorrow, 15th April 2022 to 9th May 2022. We shall resume on 10th May 2022. This implies that the House has less than two months left before the end of the Sixth Session, given that the sine die recess will commence on 6th June 2022. You will agree with me that this part of the Session is always a busy one with budget- related business and other crucial business being transacted amidst the heightened activities that characterise an election year as all Members prepare for the General Elections. I take this opportunity to inform the House that from October 2021, up to and including this week, the House has passed over 40 Bills, some of which are now pending in the Senate while others have been signed into law. Indeed, since the last Session, His Excellency the President has assented to a total of 32 Bills, 30 of which originated in the National Assembly while the other two originated from the other House. Several of these pieces of legislation were sponsored by the Leader of the Majority Party, 14 were sponsored by Committees and five arose from individual Members. The list of pieces of legislation assented to is as follows: A. Those sponsored by the Leader of the Majority Party, which are 11: 1. The Business Laws (Amendment) (No.2) Act, 2021; 2. The Refugees Act, 2021; 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."
