    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that a Communication was made from the Chair on 1st July, 2008, 23rd July, 2008, regarding the ongoing review of the Standing Orders. In the last Communication, the Chair conveyed the timetable for the review of the rules of procedure by the Standing Orders Committee and stated that the Committee had concluded its report styled \"First Draft of the Tenth Parliament\" . The said First Draft is due for consideration by all the Members. In the same Communication, the Speaker invited all Members to a workshop to be held on 20th to 22nd August, 2008, at Safari Park Hotel. It is envisaged that the three-day workshop will be opened by His Excellency the President and closed by the Prime Minister. Hon. Members, Standing Orders, being the basic rules of procedure, are of vital significance, not only to the House but also the Government of the day as it governs in accordance with the laws enacted by Parliament. A good number of proposals made in the First Draft of theTenth Parliament definitely have fundamental significance in the way Parliament discharges its constitutional mandate. It is, therefore, imperative that all Members afford some time during the recess to attend the said workshop and make contributions to the review of the Standing Orders. In this regard, copies of the First Draft of the Tenth Parliament have been circulated to all Members for their perusal. MINISTRY OF ROADS WORKSHOP FOR MEMBERS May I also take this opportunity to announce to the House that the Ministry of Roads has invited Members for a workshop on 11th August, 2008, at the School of Monetary Studies. Letters to this effect have been addressed to the Members by the Clerk. Thank you."
