The Preservation of Public Security (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 6. The Appellate Jurisdiction (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 7. The Penal Code (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 8. The Legal Aid (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 9. The Prisons (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 10. The Mining (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 11. The Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment), Bill 2023; 12. The Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 13. The National Transport and Safe Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 14. The Earned Corruption and Economic Crimes (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 2023; 15. The Gold Processing Bill 2023; 16. The Basic Education (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 17. The Employment (Amendment) Bill, 2023; 18. The Universities (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill, 2023; and, 19. The Institute of Social Work Professionals Bill, 2023. Bills that were not covered under this exemption have since lapsed. However, sponsors of the affected Bills who may be desirous of proceeding with them may, in accordance with the Standing Orders, seek guidance from the Clerk. I will repeat, we have up to 10 Bills seeking to amend the same Acts of Parliament and some the same Sections of the same Acts. Therefore, I encourage sponsors of those Bills to find a way of harmonising them so that we have a composite Bill that can be brought afresh. Hon. Members, with regard to Questions, those that had been transmitted to the respective Ministries by the end of the Third Session but had not yet received a response, have also lapsed. However, if any Member still wishes to obtain a response, the Member is required to visit the Table Office to formally indicate so. This must be done by close of business on Thursday, 20th February 2025, to enable the Leader of the Majority Party to prioritise such questions when scheduling the appearance of Cabinet Secretaries before the House. For avoidance of doubt, any Questions that had not been transmitted to the Ministries, Constitutional Commissions and Independent Offices have also lapsed. Members are, however, still at liberty to file such questions afresh, if they wish to do so. As we settle to this new Session, to ensure effective communication and facilitation of Members, Members are also requested to update their bio-data with the Office of the Clerk in order for it to be accurately captured in the records and on the website of Parliament. I, therefore, urge all Members to visit the Office of the Clerk at the earliest convenience in order to fast-track this process. Additionally, Hon. Members, the following 10 Bills which the House passed before proceeding to the just-concluded recess were assented to and are now part of our Laws of Kenya. They are: 1. The National Rating Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 55 of 2022); 2. The Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 2 of 2023); 3. The Water Amendment Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 33 of 2023); 4. The Ethics and Corruption (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 11 of 2024); 5. The Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.18 of 2024); 6. The Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 35 of 2024); The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
