I would also like to extend my condolences to the family of the Hon. Opore, the former Member for Bonchari, who has also passed away. Thank you once again for allowing me to read my statement and attend to other national duties outside of the House. Pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 44(2)(a), I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 5th November 2024 to prioritise business for consideration during the week. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to officially welcome Members back from the just concluded short recess going by our Calendar for regular sittings. I also wish to commend the House leadership and Members for their dedication and cooperation exhibited in this Session so far. As we recollect and appreciate what has been achieved, I wish to point out that the mission of the 13th Parliament is not over yet. We still have a significant number of legislative proposals in the form of Bills, statutory instruments and committee reports that need our very keen attention. Unfortunately, time and tide waits for no man. Therefore, to complete our mission before we head to the long recess at the end of the first week of December, we need the collective efforts of each and every Member and all our committees of this House. With regard to business scheduled for Tuesday next week, the House is expected to continue with the following Bills, some of which are listed in today's Order Paper: 1. Committee of the whole House on the Statute Law Miscellaneous Amendments Bill (National Assembly Bill No.67 of 2023) 2. Second Reading of the following Bills— (a) The Kenya Roads Board (Amendment) Bill of 2024; (b) The Land Control Bill of 2023; (c) The Higher Education Loans Board (Amendment) Bill of 2022; (d) The Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill of 2022; (e) The Political Parties (Amendment) Bill of 2022; (f) The Equalization Fund Administration Bill (Senate Bill No.14 of 2023); (g) The Universities (Amendment) Bill of 2023; (h) The Cooperatives Bill of 2024; and, (i) The County Government Revenue Raising Process Bill of 2023. Additionally, a debate will also be undertaken on the following Motions, should they not be concluded today: 1. Consideration of the Mediated Version of the National Rating Bill of 2022. 2. Consideration of reports on financial statements of state corporations in the Nyanza region. 3. Reports on the alleged unfair trade practices by foreign investors in Kenya. 4. Third report on consideration of the audited accounts of specified state corporations. 5. Report of the Extraordinary Session of the Sixth Pan-African Parliament (PAP). Hon. Deputy Speaker, in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order 42(a)(v) and (vi), I wish to convey that, as I mentioned yesterday, the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport is scheduled to appear before the House on the afternoon of Wednesday, 13th November 2024 to respond to the following questions: 1. Question by Private Notice No.13 of 2024 by the Member for Gatanga, Hon. Wakili Muriu regarding the status of any negotiations for a concession agreement between the Government and Adani Group regarding the management of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
