    "content": "Hon Speaker, as Members are aware, we have had a very protracted process in the consideration and approval of the report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) on the Supplementary Estimates for the FY 2021/2022. I am happy that we were able to move this process forward. I thank you for your considered communication on this and enable the publication of the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, 2022 to actualise the financial provisions made. I urge the House to expedite this process to finality today through the passage of the said Bill. Hon Speaker, I, however, wish to underscore that this is a very busy season for the House, in addition to the on-going activities outside Parliament. As Members will appreciate, we still have conclusion of the Division of Revenue Bill, 2022 and County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2022, consideration and approval of the Budget Estimates for the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 and the Finance Bill, 2022 ahead of us. There may also be other Bills that need to be expedited before the Sine Die Recess, which is slightly more than two months from today. In this regard, I wish to encourage Members and Committees to expedite any urgent business to give the House adequate time to consider and process it. Hon. Speaker, on Tuesday next week, the following business has been scheduled for consideration: 1. Committee of the Whole House for the Universities (Amendment) Bill, 2021, if the Coffee Bill is not completed today. 2. Second Reading of the following Bills: (i) The National Electronic Single Window System Bill, 2021; (ii) The Huduma Bill, 2021; (iii)The Children Bill, 2021; and, (iv) The Advocates (Amendment) Bill, 2021. Hon. Speaker, I am reliably informed that there are no questions scheduled to be answered by Cabinet Secretaries in the coming week. Once the Chairpersons finish consolidating the Questions, I shall report on that next week. Hon. Speaker, the House Business Committee will reconvene on Tuesday, 5th April 2022 to schedule the business for the rest of the week. I now wish to lay this Statement on the Table of the House. I thank You, Hon. Speaker."
