    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, from the outset, I wish to commend the leadership of the House and Hon. Members for the dedication and cooperation exhibited so far, in the Session. As Members will note, the House is set to proceed on a short recess, commencing after today’s Sitting in line with the approved Calendar of regular sittings. Thereafter, the House is scheduled to resume sittings on Tuesday, 9th April 2024 at 2.30 p.m., to continue with the First Part of the Second Session. Hon. Temporary Speaker, we wish Hon. Members a happy stay, as they reunite with their families because they have worked very hard. Although we only have a few days, it is good enough and we will be energised. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is noted that the House still awaits various reports from committees on business committed to them. In this regard, I wish to encourage committees to make use of this period to expedite pending business and finalise their reports including Bills, Treaties, Petitions and any inquiry. This will enable their consideration when the House resumes from the short recess. Hon. Temporary Speaker, upon resumption, the House will continue debate on the Second Reading of the Land Laws (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, 2023; the National Disaster Risk Management Bill, 2023 and the County Licensing (Uniform Procedure) Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2022) should they not be concluded today. Additionally, debate will also be undertaken on the following Motions, should they not be concluded: 1. Reports of the Auditor-General on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund for five constituencies in Vihiga County; 2. Reports of the Auditor-General on Financial Statements for the Kenya Slum Upgrading Low-Cost Housing & Infrastructure Trust Fund; 3. Reports of the Auditor-General on the financial statements for the Land Settlement Fund and the Railway Development Fund; 4. Reports of the Auditor-General on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund for nine constituencies in Bungoma County; and 5. Inquiry into the Maize Flour Subsidy Programme for the Financial Year 2022/2023. Finally, Hon. Temporary Speaker, noting that Ramadhan and Easter periods fall during this recess period, I wish to take this early opportunity on behalf of the House Business Committee and my own behalf, to wish Hon. Members a Happy Easter, Ramadhan Mubarak and a fruitful recess period. The House Business Committee shall reconvene on Tuesday, 9th April 2024 to schedule business for the rest of that week. I now wish to lay this Statement on the Table of the House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
