Hon. Speaker, other Bills to be scheduled for consideration in the coming week include:- The National Drought Management Authority Bill 2013, the Persons with Disabilities (Amendment) Bill 2013, the Climate Change Bill 2014, the Kenya National AIDS Authority Bill 2014 and the Order of Precedence Bill 2014. I, therefore, wish to urge all Members with proposed amendments to any of the Bills read, to present the text to the Legal Department of Parliament or the Office of the Clerk, in good time to avoid the last minute rush. Hon. Speaker, the HBC will also schedule a number of Committee reports for debate and adoption by the House. One of those reports include the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill No.2 of 2013, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) Report of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and other reports from that same Committee. It will be remembered that the Report of the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill No.2 of 2013 is a Bill that originated from the Senate. Therefore, it is prudent for consideration so that Members of this House are clear about the recommendations of that Mediation Committee. Therefore, I will ask Members to get a copy of that Mediation Report from the Table Office. Hon. Speaker, I wish to remind Members that we are in the Budget cycle and the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury will present the Budget highlights on Thursday 12th June 2014 for the Financial Year 2014/2015. The Budget and Appropriations Committee has already tabled its Report on the Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for 2014/2015 for adoption by this House. These and other Budget related Bills need to be considered and passed within the stipulated timelines as provided for by the Constitution and the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. Hon. Speaker, the House will further consider the following committee reports:- The Departmental Committee on Health Report on Devolution of Health Services. The Joint Report of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communications and Information and that of Education, Research and Technology; on the Status of the San Marco Space Application Centre in Malindi. Hon. Speaker, again through you, I wish to urge the Chairpersons and Members of respective Committees that have originated the said reports to be available in the House to lead the debate of their respective reports. Hon. Speaker, through you, and without anticipating debate, allow me to bring to the attention of the House the eight Constitutional Bills requiring passage on or before August 27th 2014. Currently, they are before the Government and other bodies. These Bills are:- (i) The Consumer Protection Bill. (ii) The Fair Hearing Bill. (iii) The Fair Administration Action Bill. (iv) Legislation regarding the environment. (v) Accounts and audit of the public goods and services. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
