    "content": "1. That, Standing Order 127 as read together with Standing Order 216(5), by default, requires the committal of a Bill for scrutiny and conduct of public participation to a departmental committee. 2. That, as an exception to the rule in (1) above, the House has referred certain Bills to select committees on account of the specialised mandate and functions assigned to the select committee and the unique background and content of the proposals in the Bill. This informed the recent referral of the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.16 of 2023) to the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee. 3. That, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 127(1), as read together with Standing Order 216(5)(c), consideration of the Privatisation Bill (National Assembly No.22 of 2023), and facilitation of public participation on the Bill falls squarely and exclusively in the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. 4. That, in its consideration of the Privatisation Bill (National Assembly Bill No.22 of 2023), the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is at liberty to invoke the provisions of Standing Order 127(3) and invite the Public Debt and Privatization Committee to share any technical input. I thank you. Next Order."
