    "content": "today’s Order Paper will be prioritized for Tuesday the 29th November, 2022 and other business scheduled by the SBC. The Order Paper for Wednesday 30th November, 2022 and that one of Thursday, 1st December, 2022 will contain business that will not have been concluded on the Tuesday, 29th and Wednesday 30th November, 2022 respectively. Petitions, Motions, Statements and any other business scheduled by the SBC will also be concluded in the said Order Papers. In terms of other Businesses, one Bill is awaiting Second Reading Stage that is the County Vocational Education Bill (Senate Bill No.3 of 2022) and one Petition by residents of Mfangano Island in the Lake Victoria Homa Bay County. Both the Bill and the Petitions are being considered under the sponsorship of the Senator for Homa Bay County. This is what I was alluding to earlier; you can clearly see that the older Members of the House appreciate and know that this is a particular time that it is easiest to push your Bill and is considered. This is because by the time you get to the third and fourth year, many other factors interfere with how things are processed in this House. I encourage Members that if you have any particular Bill that you feel need to be considered in this House make hay while the sun is still shining. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are three other Bills which are undergoing concurrence process that is contemplated pursuant to Article 110(3) of the Constitution, namely the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 5 of 2022); the Preservation on Human Dignity and Enforcement of Economic and Social Rights Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2022) and the Natural Resources Benefits Sharing Bill (Senate Bill No.6 of 2022). All those entire three Bill are going through the concurrence process between us and the National Assembly. I am aware that the Speaker is actively engaging the counterpart in the other House so that we can conclude on this particular process and make it easier. The whole question on concurrence has caused a dispute between the two Houses and has been litigated up in all the courts of the land. Numerous Statements have been sought from the various Standing Committees pursuant to either Standing Order No. 53 (1) and No. 53 (2). I urge the respective Committee Chairpersons to ensure they expedite consideration of these Statements and where necessary reports tabled pursuant to the relevant Standing Orders. I hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the House."
