On Tuesday, the first item to be considered will be a Motion of the reconstitution of the Committee on Privileges, which is a Sessional Committee. In this regard, the Committee on Selection will be meeting on Monday afternoon to consider the nomination. Thereafter, the House will consider three Reports of the Public Accounts Committee for the Financial Years 2010/2011, 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. The House Business Committee has taken a conscious decision to also schedule for consideration Senate Bills, most of which have been pending for sometime in the House. In this regard, priority has been accorded to two Senate Bills both of which are amending the County Governments Act. Should we conclude with those Bills, then we will consider the National Honours (Amendment) Bill, 2014, which also originates from the Senate. Hon.

The Persons with Disabilities (Amendment) Bill, 2013; 3. The Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) Bill 2013. However, consideration of the Persons with Disabilities (Amendment) Bill, 2013 and the Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) Bill, 2013 is subject to availability of written recommendations from the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the amendments proposed to those Bills. Hon. Speaker, through you, may I take this opportunity to urge hon. Members with proposed amendments to the said Bills to hand them over to the Office of the Clerk in good time as they have to be put on the Order Paper?
