    "content": "The House Business Committee met on Tuesday, 23rd June 2015, to prioritise the business of the House. Next week on Tuesday, the House will consider, in the Committee of the whole House, the Water Bill 2014. Also to be considered for Second Reading is the Private Security Regulation Bill, 2014 and the Special Economic Zones Bill, 2015. Further, on the same day, priority will be accorded to the Nineteenth Report of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and the Report of the Departmental Committee on Lands on land issues in Taita Taveta County, should we not conclude them today. The House Business Committee will also prioritise the following Sessional Papers, should we not conclude them today. These are:- (1) Adoption of Sessional Paper No.3 and No.4 of 2013 on the National Productivity Policy and the Employment Policy and Strategy for Kenya, respectively. (2) Adoption of Sessional Paper No.2 of 2013 on the National Industrial Training and Attachment Policy. (3) Adoption of Sessional Paper No.5 of 2014 on the National Policy for Peace- building and Conflict Management. (4) Adoption of Sessional Paper No.2 of 2014 on the National Social Protection Policy. (5) Adoption of Sessional Paper No.4 of 2014 on Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector (GJLOS) Policy. (6) Adoption of Sessional Paper No.9 of 2013 on the National Cohesion and Integration. I urge the Chairpersons of the responsible committees to expedite consideration of the Sessional Papers and table their Reports. This will enable the House to comprehend the content of the Sessional Papers and put them forward for comments. These Sessional Papers have overstayed in the National Assembly and are crucial to both the Executive and the people of Kenya. So, it is good that we clear them next week. Concerning the Cabinet Secretaries appearing before committees on Tuesday, 30th June 2015, the schedule is as follows:- The Cabinet Secretary for Transport and Infrastructure will appear at 10.00 a.m. before the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing to answer to questions from. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah. (2) Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Labour, Social Security and Services at 11.30 a.m. before the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to answer questions from Hon. Kamoti Mwamkale, Member of Parliament and Hon. Joe Mutambu, MP.
