    "content": " In the interest of time, let me go to the usual Thursday Statement. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(a), I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 11th June 2024, to prioritise business for consideration during the week. You communicated that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u, EGH, will today make a public pronouncement of the Budget Highlights and Revenue Raising Measures for the Financial Year 2024/2025 and the Medium-Term Revenue Strategy. I urge Members to listen keenly and actively participate in this important business when the opportunity for debate on the matters raised comes up in the House. It is also important to mention to the members of the public that this is not the 2024/2025 Finance Bill. There has been a misconception out there that what the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning is coming to spell out today is the 2024/2025 Finance Bill. It is important for the members of the public to get the understanding that the Statement is just about revenue raising measures. It is not the Finance Bill. I know members of the public have harassed most of these Members on maters touching on voting on the Finance Bill. There will be no voting today on anything. Regarding the business scheduled for Tuesday next week, the House is expected to consider the following Bills at various stages: 1. The Kenya Drugs Authority Bill of 2022 in the Committee of the whole House. 2. The Second Reading of the Land Laws (Amendment) (No.2) Bill of 2023, the Care and Protection of Child Parents Bill, (Senate Bill No. 29 of 2023), and the Mung Beans Bill (Senate Bill No. 13 of 2022). Additionally, debate will also be undertaken on the following Motions: 1. Reports of the Auditor-General on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund for the nine constituencies in Bungoma County. 2. Report of the Public Petitions Committee on its consideration of a public petition on funds spent contrary to the provisions of Article 223 of the Constitution. 3. Reports of the Auditor-General on the financial statements of specified state corporations."
