    "content": "Hon. Members, I take this opportunity to welcome you to the Special Sittings of the House which have been conveyed pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 29 relating to the procedure for convening Special Sittings of the House during recess. I acknowledge that these sittings may have interrupted your schedules as this is the period you find time to engage with your electorate as well as your families. Nonetheless, it is important that we dedicate this one day to ensure the conclusion of certain priority business of the House. In this regard, I wish to report to the House that on 2nd December 2022, I received a request from the Leader of the Majority Party requesting for convening of Special Sittings of the National Assembly to facilitate certain crucial business. The business include, among others, consideration of a Special Motion on approval of nominees for appointment to the position of Member of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and consideration of the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on the Public Finance Management (Public Investments Management) Regulations, 2022 (Legal Notice No.54 of 2022). Hon. Members, recognising the urgent nature of the business specified in the request by the Leader of the Majority Party, and recalling my earlier directive of 29th November 2022 to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding conclusion of the approval hearings on the nominees for the Commission on Revenue Allocation, I acceded to the request. Consequently, vide Kenya Gazette No.15183 of 5th December 2022, I informed all Members of the National Assembly and the public of the Special Sittings of the House to be held today, Thursday, 8th December 2022 commencing at 10.00 am in the case of the morning sitting and 2.30 p.m. for the afternoon sitting. Hon. Members, for clarity, the business to be transacted by the House during the Special Sittings is as specified in the gazette notice and notified by way of newspaper notifications published by the Clerk of the National Assembly in the local dailies on Monday, 5th December 2022. Accordingly, the Special Sittings of the House today Thursday, 8th December 2022 are properly conveyed. Thank you."
