    "content": "Hon. Members, I have a short Communication. I wish to welcome you back to the House from the long recess. I note that the recess turned out to be a working break for most committees given the intense time that had to be invested in the consideration of the Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2023/2024, public participation for the Finance Bill, 2023 and other Bills, the vetting of nominees proposed for appointment to various State offices and other priority matters that were referred to committees before and during the ended recess. Nonetheless, it is my sincere hope that you managed to spend some valuable time with your families and constituents, and are now rejuvenated to embark on transacting business during this part of the Session. As I welcome you back, allow me to emphasise the need for the House to settle down as soon as now, given the volume of business with statutory timelines either currently before the House or expected to be brought before the House. Some of the key businesses that will remain top priority in this month of June 2023 include the consideration of Special Motions for approval of proposed appointments of various persons to the Judicial Service Commission, the Central Bank of Kenya, the National Intelligence Service and other bodies. All budget-related business is also of priority, including the consideration of Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2023/2024 and the attendant Committee of Supply; consideration of the subsequent Appropriation Bill, 2023; the Finance Bill, 2023; the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2023; and the County Governments Additional Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2023 among other priority business."
