    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order No.241 provides as follows: “The Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance shall appear before the Budget and Appropriations Committee for the purposes of making a public announcement of the budget policy highlights and revenue raising measures for the national Government.” Hon. Members, the House Business Committee (HBC) has since received a request from the Budget and Appropriations Committee seeking to be allowed to use the Chamber tomorrow 13th June, 2013. The Committee intends to hold a sitting to receive the budget highlights and revenue raising measures for the year 2013/2014 from the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury. The HBC considered the request and resolved to ask the House to adjourn tomorrow at 3.00 p.m. Hon. Members are therefore notified that pursuant to Standing Order No.31 tomorrow Thursday 13th June, 2013 the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee or his designee will move a Motion requesting the House to adjourn its sitting for the day. It is, therefore, expected that the House will adjourn at 3.00 p.m. to give way to this important national event. Thereafter, hon. Members are invited to attend the sitting of the Budget and Appropriations Committee in the Chamber. In this regard, hon. Members are also reminded to use the main public car park and the rear car park since the front courtyard will be reserved for a cocktail to be hosted by the Committee after the event. Hon. Members what that means is that the sitting after 3.00 p.m. tomorrow will not be a sitting of the House; rather it will be a sitting of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but which every hon. Member is invited and expected to attend to listen to the Budget highlights and revenue raising measures that the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury will be making to the House and nation."
