    "content": "Bill, the Physiotherapists Bill, the Statute Law and Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill, just to mention a few. Hon. Speaker, allow me to specifically congratulate the House for passing three Bills with constitutional deadlines. They include: Persons Deprived of Liberty Bill, 2014, the Environment Management Bill, 2014 and the Public Service Values and Principles Bill, 2014. Hon. Speaker, four Bills have been passed and forwarded to the Senate for consideration, as required by the Constitution of Kenya. These includes: The Mining Bill, the Environment Management Coordination Bill, 2014, The National Drought Management Bill, 2013 and the Public Service Values and Principle Bill, 2014. Secondly, 14 Bills are waiting the Committee of the Whole House. 26 Bills are waiting the Second Reading and we have received 10 Bills from the Senate, which we shall give priority after the recess. These include the Political Parties Amendment Bill, 2014, among others. The Committees have done several Reports; key among them is the Report on the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, in which we did a vetting of 24 High Commissioners. Hon. Speaker, the Committee on Appointments vetted the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government this morning in accordance with Standing Order 2004 (4). It is our view that we will use the provision of Standing Orders 29 and 61 to call for a Special Sitting of the House to discuss the Report of the approval of the nominee for Interior and Coordination of National Government. Secondly, we intend to discuss the Third Reading of the Security (Amendment) Bill and lastly to seek the approval of the nominees for the Constituency Development (CDF) board. Finally, I want to urge you the following: You have seen what hon. Outa has done. If it is about bull-fighting or about camel rearing that I usually do, I will do it after we go for recess. I have about 200 camels, just like my good friend, hon. Odhiambo- Mabona will go and rear fish. I will rear the camels. It was in very bad taste. Hon. Outa recently suffered a petition and was saved by the Supreme Court of the land. I have no doubt in my mind that I served with him in the last Parliament. I am sure that the people of Nyando Constituency who were watching hon. Outa were not impressed. When he goes for the recess as a good friend, I will do a lot of counseling that next time we should not play around with the Mace. For us, this is the symbol of dignity and power; the way the President receives instruments of power. The only instrument of power apart from the Constitution in this House is the Mace."
