Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(a), I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee which met on Tuesday, 13th June 2023 to prioritise the business for consideration during the week. As Members are aware, this week, the House concluded the general debate on the Budget Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for the Financial Year 2023/2024 and the Medium-Term and adopted the Annual Estimates with amendments in the Committee of Supply. Additionally, the House concluded the Second Reading of the Finance Bill, 2023 after the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning tabled its report on the Bill. I would like to commend the Committee and, indeed, the House for the steadfast commitment and participation during this important business which has sometimes gone late into the night. Members will note that I had previously conveyed that the Cabinet Secretaries for Labour and Social Protection and Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development were scheduled to appear before the House on the afternoon of Wednesday, 14th June 2023 to respond to the Questions in the Plenary of the National Assembly. However, due to priority business before the House, this has been postponed to a date that shall be communicated. With regard to the business for Tuesday, next week the House is expected to consider the Finance Bill, 2023 at the Committee of the whole House and the Appropriations Bill, 2023 at all stages, once it is published. Debate on the following business will also continue next week: 1. The Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining on the ratification of the Kigali Amendments on the Montreal Protocol on the Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. 2. The Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining on the ratification of the Bamako Convention on the ban of the importation into Africa and the Control of Transboundary Movement and Management of Hazardous Waste within Africa. 3. The Report on United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and Global Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC) Annual General Meeting. 4. The Second Reading of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2022. Finally, the House Business Committee will reconvene on Tuesday, 20th June 2023 to schedule business for the rest of the week. I now wish to lay this Statement on the Table of the House. Thank You."
