    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(1)(2), on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC) I rise to give the following Statement regarding the business of the House in the next few days as we proceed on December recess pursuant to Standing Order No.28. The HBC met on Wednesday this week upon the rise of the House to give priority to the business of the House and take stock of the business that has been conducted by this House. I wish to notify Members that the HBC did not schedule any business for next week since this House will be proceeding on recess in respect to the calendar of the House unless otherwise decided by hon. Members this afternoon. Hon. Speaker, Members are aware that this morning we considered the third report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee amending the Standing Order. This amendment has ensured that all Bills published or read a First Time do not lapse at the end of this session. This is a remarkable direction by this House and will save a lot of time and resources for the House in the next session. I also wish to bring to the attention of the House the fact that we have received an informal request from the National Treasury to consider the Supplementary Budget. In view of the fact that the House has a very heavy task this afternoon and also it being the last sitting of this House as per the calendar gazetted, it is the consideration of the HBC that this business be considered in the next session. It is the consideration of the House Business Committee, that this business be considered in the next session. Cognizant of the fact that, by not considering the Supplementary Budget, the Government will still remain stable in operation. I wish to take this early opportunity once again to thank Members, from both sides of the House for our vigor and consistence in our debating style. It is worth noting that Parliamentary democracy in Kenya has grown a notch higher, where we objectively accept each other’s contribution in opinions and matters of national interest. I also want to note that this House has considered a number of businesses in the form of Bills, Statements and 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."
