"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order 44(1), 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 12th November, 2013. Hon. Speaker, Sir, next week on Tuesday, the House will consider the Second Reading of a number of Bills, namely:- (i) The Media Council Bill. (ii) The Election Campaign Financing Bill. (iii) The National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill. (iv) The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation (Amendment) Bill. (v) The Insurance (Motor Vehicle Third Party Risks (Amendment) Bill The other Bills to be read a Second Time next week include the National Social Security Fund Bill, 2013 and the Wildlife Conservation and Management Bill, 2013, whose reports have already been laid on the Table, according to the relevant Chairs. Hon. Speaker, Sir, through you, I wish to take this opportunity to notify the House that under Order No.8 in today’s Order Paper on the Motion to adopt the Report on the petition for removal of some members of the Judicial Service Commission; being a special Motion, it must be debated and concluded within seven days, pursuant to Standing Order 230 and Article 251 of Constitution. In the event that the Motion is not concluded today, Thursday, 7th November, 2013 it will be deemed to have been withdrawn. I, therefore, wish to urge the House, through the Chair, to consider the Motion today and if need arises, the House may at a later time resolve to extend its sitting time today in order to conclude this important business and make a decision, one way or the other. Hon. Speaker, according to the calendar of the House, this House will go on recess on 5th December, 2013. It, therefore, means that this House has only about 17 sittings left, including today. Hon. Speaker, Sir, if the House is to conclude its business, then the HBC may be forced to seek an approval of the House for extra sitting hours to conclude the heavy business before us before recess. This extension will be occasioned by the number of important Bills that we have, one of which has a constitutional deadline. This also includes other very important Bills such as the Kenya Heroes Bill, 2013, whose passage is anticipated to coincide with 50 years of Jubilee celebrations.
