    "content": "Measures to the nation from the National Assembly chamber remains an essential ceremonial event in the budget cycle of the East Africa Community partner States. In this regard, it is hereby notified that in keeping with the requirements of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and Standing Order 244C, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury will make the annual pronouncement of the Budget Highlights and Revenue Raising Measures for the National Government for the Financial Year 2023/2024 on Thursday, 15th June 2023 in the National Assembly chamber. Further, Hon. Members, the other key event during this part of the Session is the National Prayer Breakfast. As you may already be aware, the date for the 20th National Prayer Breakfast was postponed to tomorrow, Wednesday, 7th June 2023. The event will take place at the usual venue, the Safari Park Hotel, starting at exactly 7.30 a.m. All guests are asked to be seated by 7.00 a.m. On the eve of the National Prayer Breakfast, as is the tradition, a national conversation on topical issues affecting the country has been organised. The conversation commenced this afternoon and is currently underway at the Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi, and Hon. Members are also invited to attend if possible. It is for this reason that the House Business Committee has approved the moving of the Motion under Order No.8 in today’s Order Paper asking the House to suspend the morning Sitting of Wednesday, 7th June 2023. This is to avail Members the opportunity to attend this important annual prayer event. Hon. Members, timely consideration of the scheduled business before the House calls for dedication of both the leadership and the entire Membership of this House. Therefore, as we embark on the performance of such important trusts bestowed on us by the people of Kenya, I urge the House to rise to the occasion, just as we have ably risen before, and deliver on the legislative agenda for this part of the Second Session."
