    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of the Standing Order 30(3)(b), this House resolves to hold a Sitting on Thursday, 30th April, 2015 between 9.30 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. This is a decision of the House Business Committee last night. Without anticipating debate, the House is scheduled to proceed for a long recess tomorrow in accordance with the Calendar of the House. This has occasioned the need to have a Morning Sitting tomorrow to conclude a number of pending businesses, which are scheduled for the Third Session. These include:- (i) The consideration of the Committee of the whole House on the Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) Bill, 2013 and debate on the Alcoholics Drink Control (Amendment) Bill, 2014, both of which were deferred this morning to tomorrow morning by the Speaker. (ii) The continuation of the Second Reading of the Fisheries Management and Development Bill, 2014; The Private Security Regulation Bill, 2014 and the Transfer of the Prisoners Bill, 2014. (iii) The consideration of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding unpaid pension dues for retired teachers which has been with the House for too long. (iv) The consideration of a Special Report of the Public Investments Committee on the Procurement Process of the Kenya Pipeline Company Limited Line 1 Capacity Enhancement Project. We have a number of both public and private Bills in the First Reading Stage, Second Reading Stage and the Committee of the whole House stage. We have close to about 30 public Bills and over 15 Private Members’ Bills. On top of that, we have a huge backlog on Committee Reports and Motions by individual Members of Parliament. In the House Business Committee that you Chair, we have agreed to sit tomorrow in the morning and in the afternoon to reduce the backlog, so that when we come back on 8th June, 2015, if the House agrees to the Calendar tomorrow, we will begin with the most urgent business that is before us. Secondly, we also have a number of Bills emanating from the Senate some of which have gone through the mediation stage. We expect the mediation process on the Division of Revenue Bill, the Fertilisers and Food Stuffs Bill and the Environmental Management Bill, 2014, to be completed in the shortest time possible and then we consider them in the Committee of the whole House. Following the business lined up, I propose a Morning Sitting for tomorrow, 30th April, 2015 to complete the business that I have read out. I will ask the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Francis Nyenze, to second."
