    "content": "(iii) The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill No.33 of 2013. Hon. Speaker, through you too, I wish to remind Members about your constant guidance to this House regarding Statements, that the Chairpersons of Committees do not necessarily need to invite the Executive and the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of State agencies, departments and parastatals to respond to Statements. Depending on the nature of the Statement, Committees may choose to write to the relevant institutions to request for direct responses especially on Statements that the Committee may deem to require direct response and such responses should be conveyed directly to the Members and the House without delay. However, only in exceptional cases should the House invite Cabinet Secretaries and the CEOs regarding Statements. Hon. Speaker, this will allow Committees to concentrate on their oversight function, Bills, petitions, treaties or conventions and other functions provided for in the Standing Orders. On the same note, allow me to remind the Chairs of the respective Committees their important roles in the business of the House. Finally, hon. Speaker, the HBC will meet on Tuesday, 18th of March, 2014 at the rise of the House to consider business for the rest of the week. I wish to lay the Statement on the Table of the House. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
