"content": "THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(b), this House resolves to hold a sitting on Thursday, 23rd April, 2015 between 9.30 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. Hon. Speaker, the House has a lot of business to consider before we proceed for the long recess next week. Firstly, between now and the recess, we have the Committee of the whole House on the Fair Administrative Action Bill, 2015, which has a constitutional deadline of 27th May, 2015. The Bill is also supposed to go to the Senate for concurrence. Secondly, we have a Committee of the whole House on the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, 2014, which also has a constitutional deadline of 27th May, 2015. The Bill is yet to be referred to the Senate for consideration. Thirdly, the House needs to consider the Senate Amendments to the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.29 of 2014), which has a constitutional deadline of 27th May, 2015. Finally, the House must consider the Senate Amendments to the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 31of 2014), which also has a constitutional deadline of 27th May, 2015. Now that it has come back from the Senate, once we consider it, it will go for assent by His Excellency the President. Given the enormity of the Bills that I have mentioned, on behalf of the House Business Committee which met last night, I propose that the House sits tomorrow, Thursday, 23rd April, 2015 between 9.30 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. All the Bills that I have mentioned have a constitutional deadline of 27th May, 2015. The Bills concern the county governments and as such, they require consideration by the Senate. We felt that, in order not to interfere with the recess of May, as a House, we must consider the four urgent Bills before we proceed for the recess. On the other side of the coin, yesterday we submitted the names of the three Members of the Mediation Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill. I am sure that in the course of our recess, under your guidance, the House might be recalled to sit for a day to consider the Report of the Mediation Committee on that Bill, which is important to the country. Hon. Speaker, this is a straightforward Procedural Motion. Therefore, I request the Leader of the Minority Party to second it."
