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 which met on Tuesday, 5th of April 2022 to prioritize business for consideration. As you are aware, today, pursuant to your Ruling, we welcome the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning to make a public pronouncement of the Budget Highlights and Revenue-Raising Measures for the Government for the 2022/2023 Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 40(1) of the Public Finance Management Act of 2012, and Standing Orders Nos. 25(a) and 244(c). I wish to reiterate that time is of essence to the House. As Members, we appreciate that there is urgent need to consider and approve the Budget Estimates for the 2022/23 Financial Year, in addition to other Budget-related deals. I understand that committees are having quorum-related challenges, thus making it difficult for them to process their business. I, therefore, wish to urge Members to support the chairpersons and the House in the few sitting days remaining so that any important business is finalized within the stipulated timelines. Next week on Tuesday, 12th April 2022, the following business has been scheduled for consideration: (1) Committee of the whole House on the following Bills: (i) The Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.22 of 2020), to continue from Clause 46; (ii) The Elections (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.3 of 2022); (iii) The Elections (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.41 of 2021); and, (iv) The Election Campaign Financing (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.37 of 2021). We will also have the Second Reading of the following Bills: (i) The Huduma Bill, 2021 which is a continuation; (ii) The Mung Beans Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2020); (iii) The National Disaster Risk Management Bill, 2021; (iv) The Prompt Payment Bill (Senate Bill No.16 of 2021); and, (v) The Startup Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2021)."
