    "content": "Hon. Members, further to the Messages, I received a letter from the Senate on 10th August 2023, notifying that pursuant to Standing Order 162 of the Senate Standing Orders, Sen. Beth Syengo, being the sponsor of the Cotton Industry Development Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2023), has nominated Hon. Mary Emaase, MP to co-sponsor the Bill in the National Assembly. The request is well in line with similar provisions of Standing Order 143(1)(b) of the National Assembly Standing Orders. In this regard, the Hon. Mary Emaase assumes the role of co-sponsor of the Bill in the National Assembly and shall be responsible for marshaling its consideration. Hon. Members, in order to have the National Assembly seized of the three Bills, I have directed the Clerk of the National Assembly to list them for First Reading tomorrow, Thursday, 17th August 2023. After being read a First Time, the Bills will stand committed to the following committees for consideration: 1. The Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill (Senate Bill No.6 of 2022), to the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining; 2. The Employment (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2022), to the Departmental Committee on Labour; and, 3. The Cotton Industry Development Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2023), to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. The relevant Committees are requested to prioritise the Bills in their agenda and report to the House as soon as practicable to enable the House proceed with the next stage of the Bills. The House is accordingly guided."
