    "content": " Hon. Speaker, allow me to proceed to the usual Thursday Statement. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(a), I rise to give a Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 4th July 2023, to prioritise the business for consideration during the week. I wish to commend the leadership of this House, both from the Majority and Minority coalitions, the chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of all committees, and all Members for the dedication and co-operation you have exhibited in the Session so far. There have been a number of key developments, especially over the past month. Members of this House have been deeply engaged in priority budget-related business, which included consideration of the First and Second Supplementary Estimates for the Financial Year 2022/2023; Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2023/2024; the Appropriation Bill, 2023; the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2023; the Finance Bill, 2023; the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, 2023; the Equalisation Fund Appropriation Bill, 2023 and other key priority business. We have done our part, and we all deserve to pat ourselves on the back and be proud of our achievements. Members will recall that last week, the House resolved to alter its Calendar for the Second Session (Regular Sessions) by varying the period for the short recess that is scheduled to commence tomorrow, Friday, 7th July 2023, and end on Monday, 24th July 2023. Therefore, the break will last for two weeks instead of one week, as was earlier scheduled on our Calendar. The House is expected to resume regular sittings on Tuesday, 25th July 2023, at 2.30 p.m. to continue with the second part of the Session.
