    "content": "pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 30(3)(b), this House resolves to hold a Sitting on Thursday, 11th December, 2014 between 9.30 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. for the purpose of considering Bills. Hon. Speaker, without anticipating an Adjournment Motion, this afternoon and maybe, tomorrow, will be the last sitting of the House this Session unless a Special Session is requested through you. We only have tomorrow afternoon and looking at the business, both private and public, before the House, which is very urgent, the House Business Committee, last evening, felt that we should have a sitting tomorrow morning. This will allow the House to consider the very important business. First are the reports of the Public Accounts Committee on the Appropriations Account, Other Public Accounts and the Accounts for the Funds of the Government of Kenya. If not concluded today, that is a very serious report. I want to tell my colleagues that yesterday, when the Chairman of the PAC was moving this Report, which moving he is yet to conclude, there were hardly five Members in the House. That portrays Parliament in very bad light in its oversight role. The PAC, being one of the most important Committees, I will ask my colleagues that this afternoon, tomorrow morning and if possible, tomorrow afternoon, we must digest, speak and either agree or disagree with the recommendations of the PAC from the reports of the three consecutive years that they have tabled. Secondly, the Security Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2014, is to be considered for Second Reading before the House goes on recess. This Bill is before the House in a very extraordinary situation. We lost Kenyans in Mpeketoni and in Mandera twice. Parliament has a moral obligation that tomorrow we do not get accused that we did not fulfill our obligation, as a House The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
