    "content": "Hon. Members, this Communication relates to the Fourth Leadership Retreat of the National Assembly. Hon. Members, as you are aware, at the beginning of each Session, the leadership of the National Assembly retreats for a day or two to undertake a review of the activities of the previous Session and lay the framework for the incoming Session. Therefore, I wish to notify you that the National Assembly has planned a two-day retreat for the leadership of the House under the theme “Reflections, Planning and Forging ahead”. The retreat will be held on February, 27th and 28th, 2015. In addition, Members of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), the presidium of the House, Leader of Majority, Leader of Minority, other political party leaderships in the House as well as Chairpersons of Committees and members of the House Business Committee will this time round also be attending the retreat. Hon. Members, the retreat will be an opportunity for the leadership to take stock of the business considered by the National Assembly in 2014 and prioritise key business for the Third Session in 2015. The retreat will also discuss the manner of considering and processing of the 2015/2016 Budget, related legislation and provide an early opportunity for the participants to discuss decorum and the general conduct of the business of the House and its committees. The leadership has also agreed to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and Technology to brief them on the status of the digital migration and the possibilities for all inclusive alternatives. I hope that all the Chairpersons of Committees and other leaderships of the House will find time to attend this important retreat, so as to have a structured engagement as we collectively forge ahead in fulfilling our constitutional mandate. Thank you, hon. Members."
