    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is on Order No.13. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(d), I wish to make a Statement on the status of the consideration of the County Licensing (Uniform Procedure) Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2022) by the Committee. The County Licensing (Uniform Procedure) Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2022) is a Bill sponsored by Senator Omar Mariam Sheikh, MP. The Bill seeks to provide for a national legislative framework for uniform procedures for the licensing of various activities by the county governments. Hon. Speaker, Standing Order 127(4) requires that the Chairperson of the Committee report to the House within 30 days on its consideration of a Bill committed to it. The Bill was read for the First Time in the National Assembly on 28th February 2024 and committed to the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives. The 30 allotted days for consideration of the Bill are due to lapse on 30th March 2024, which will be during the recess period. I wish to report that pursuant to Standing Order 127(5), the Committee has already conducted public participation in accordance with Article 118 (1)(b) of the Constitution as read together with Standing Order 127(3)(a) of the National Assembly. However, a number of sector institutions have not yet presented their views. Additionally, serious issues of concern were raised on the Bill during the stakeholder engagements, hence requiring further deliberations. Therefore, the Committee resolved to have the Bill undergo extensive public participation through public hearings. Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence for the House Business Committee to stand down the business from the Order Paper to allow the Committee to conclude conducting public hearings and table its Report."
