    "content": "Hon. Members, this Communication relates to consideration of Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2016. Hon. Members, on Thursday, 10th March, 2016, the Leader of the Majority Party laid on the Table of the House Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2016 on Government Guarantee on Borrowing for the Construction of the Second Container Terminal Phase II at the Port of Mombasa and further, gave notice of Motion of the same. This is an important matter as it relates to revenue raising by an agency of the national Government. Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 1 and No. 245 of the National Assembly, I hereby direct that the Sessional Paper as well as the Notice of Motion be hereby committed to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. It is expected that the Committee will expeditiously embark on consideration of the Sessional Paper and apprise the House, by way of a report, before the House proceeds on the short recess next week. For the avoidance of doubt, the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade as set out in the Second Schedule of our Standing Orders includes, inter alia, public debt and revenue policies. It would, therefore, be apt that the Committee considers this matter in the absence of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) in the House. It is accordingly so directed."
