    "content": "Hon. Members, before the Clerk calls out Orders Nos.10 and 11, I wish to guide the House on the current stage at which the Motions listed under the said Orders are, and the procedure to be followed once the House decides one way or the other. For clarity, the two Orders relate to agreement with reports of the Committees of the whole House on the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.2 of 2023) and the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.13 of 2023) respectively. The two Bills were considered in the Committee of the whole House on Wednesday, 8th November 2023. As you may recall, when the Committee of the whole House on the said Bills was concluded and before the Third Reading, several Members sought to re-commit certain clauses in both Bills. Accordingly, notices of re-committal motions were made pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 136A (Re-committal Procedure ) and disclaimers thereof are indicated in the Order Paper. With respect to the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2023, two notices for re- committal have been filed by the Vice-Chairperson of the Select Committee on Procedure and House Rules, Hon. Gladys Boss, EGH, MP, and the Member for Mathare Constituency, Hon. Anthony Oluoch, MP. Of note, both Members are seeking to re-commit Clause 2 and New Clauses 4 and 5. With respect to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.13 of 2023), the Member for Ainabkoi, Hon. Samuel Chepkonga, CBS, MP filed a notice to re-commit Clause 8. Having approved the notices of re-committal, I will separately propose afresh the Questions under Order Nos.10 and 11 in order to allow Members who filed notices of re- committal to move appropriate amendments in terms of Standing Order 136A. For greater certainty, the amendments will be in the following terms: “THAT the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House be amended by inserting the following words at the end: “subject to recommittal of clauses x, y and z.” If the proposed amendments in respect of either of both Bills are agreed to, the House will dissolve into Committee of the whole House under Order No.12. The Committee of the whole House will only dispense with the re-committed clauses. If the Questions for the proposed re-committal are negatived, the two Bills will proceed to Third Reading. The Member for Ainabkoi will move the House to re-commit specific clauses of the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2023. On the other hand, I have been guided that the Leader of the Majority Party will move the House to re-commit specific clauses of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2023, when I propose the respective Questions. Hon. Members, having guided the House, I will now proceed to propose the Questions again, starting with the Motion under Order No.10 and, thereafter, the Motion under Order No.11."
