    "content": "Hon. Speaker, if this list is rejected, it will mean that it can only come back after six months. If it is rejected, that will mean that there will be no session tomorrow morning and no subsequent sessions because this is the Committee that will set the agenda at the beginning of a Session. The functions of the House Business Committee are, first, to prepare the Parliamentary Calendar. This will indicate how the Third Session of the Eleventh Parliament will be. It will show the recesses and sittings. Two, it monitors, under your leadership, and oversees the implementation of the House business and programmes. Thirdly, it is the House Business Committee that decides the order in which reports of committees come to the House. I saw something in the media some chairpersons complaining. The ultimate decision on which reports are to be debated lies with the House Business Committee under your Chairmanship. Finally, the House Business Committee has the role to implement the Standing Orders in totality in terms of scheduling of programmes and business for this House. It is the decision of the House, but as the Leader of Majority Party, I decided, this being the first day, to invoke Standing Order No.175, so that Members can read as they debate--- We do not have the name of the Speaker, the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party because they are specified under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c). The holders of the offices of the Speaker, the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party are official Members of that Committee. The other 29 Members need the approval of this House. With those many remarks, I will ask my good friend, the Minority Deputy Whip, hon. Chris Wamalwa, to second."
