    "content": "(xi) The Capital Markets (Amendment) 2013. Hon. Speaker, Sir, by this time the relevant Committees to which these Bills were referred would have submitted their reports and proposed amendments to the House. The hon. Members of the said Committees will also be requested to lead debates of the said Bills at the Second Reading. The House Business Committee is also aware that there are more than 20 legislative proposals which have been referred to Departmental Committees prior to their publication. Most of these Bills could originally fall in the category of previously known as Private Members Bills. The House Business Committee is requesting the Departmental Committees to which legislative proposals have been referred for publication to speed up the consideration of the proposals. Further, there are two Bills related to the implementation of the Constitution which should be passed by the House before or on 27th August, 2013, pursuant to the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution. I am aware that the CIOC is still engaging key stakeholders, including the Cabinet, CIC, AG and Kenya Law Reform Commission to have the legislative proposals to the said Bills submitted to Parliament for publication and consideration. The House Business Committee is requesting the CIOC to expedite this process. Should the said Bills fail to be submitted for passage in good time, before the Constitutional timeline of August, 2013, the House Business Committee may seek the resolution of the House to extend the constitutional timelines pursuant to Article 261(2). This is because the HBC is of the view that the House should undertake the first short recess from August, 2013, in accordance with the calendar of this House."
