Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(a), on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC) I rise to give the following Statement regarding the business appearing before the House the week beginning Tuesday 24th June, 2014. The HBC met this past Tuesday at the rise of the House and scheduled business for this current week and part of next week. Hon. Speaker, following your direction yesterday that the National Assembly should lead from the front in terms of conforming to statutory deadlines, I wish to report several things: With regard to the eight constitutional Bills, the Attorney-General has confirmed that he has received the draft legislative proposals from the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC). Further, he has also confirmed that due to the urgency of the Bills he will be presenting them today to the Cabinet for approval. The Attorney-General has also undertaken to forward the Bills to the National Assembly next week. This will enable us to publish them in good time so that they are considered and passed by 27th August, 2014. With regard to the Appropriation Bill, 2014, I wish to confirm that the Budget and Appropriations Committee had intensive engagements with the Treasury and in this regard it is envisaged that the Appropriation Bill could be published over the weekend so that it can be considered on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. I sincerely thank the Budget Office and the Budget and Appropriations Committee for their efforts. Hon. Speaker, next week the House will consider for Second Reading the following Bills: The National Drought Management Authority Bill, 2013; the Kenya Qualifications Framework Bill, 2013; the Private Security Regulation Bill, 2014; the Scrap Metal Bill, 2014; the Persons with Disability (Amendment) Bill, 2013; the Climate Change Bill, 2014; the Kenya National AIDS Authority Bill, 2014; the Order of Precedence Bill, 2014. 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."
