    "content": "Hon. Members, I have a Communication to make. This Communication relates to a matter that this House had occasion to express itself in the course of the day today. It relates to the deployment of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). Hon. Members, this evening, I have received a request from the Office of the President seeking approval of the National Assembly for assistance by the KDF to restore peace and security in Marsabit, Samburu, Pokot and Turkana counties pursuant to the provisions of Article 241(3)(c) of the Constitution. This matter requires the decision of this House. It is on this basis that I will allow the Leader of Majority Party to give Notice of Motion for the House to deliberate on this matter and decide appropriately. I will also ask the Leader of the Majority Party to move a Motion under Standing Order No.30(1) for the House to direct another sitting day today. Before we do that, Hon. Members, I direct that the item appearing under Order No.10(v) of consideration of the National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.17 of 2013) will be considered today under Order No.14 and will precede the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.44 of 2013). In the meantime, hon. Members, I want to reiterate your resolution earlier this afternoon where you resolved that all business will be considered before we enter into that new day. In this regard, I also request that we finish the business up to Order No.14 before 10.00 p.m. today so that we can enter into another sitting day to consider the request in accordance with Article 241(3)(c) of the Constitution."
