    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know he is just dying to cross the Floor. He is just excited. The Bills before the Committee which we have dispensed with include:- 1. The Kenya Defence Forces (Amendment) Bill - which is presently the property of the House. It is on the Order Paper. 2. The Kenya Regiment (Territorial Force) (Repeal) Bill, which has also been dispensed by the Committee and the Report was tabled on 17th February, 2016. 3. The Military Veterans Bill, 2013 which, by your direction, has been returned to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and our Committee for further consideration. 4. Before us, we have also dispensed one Petition regarding the alleged continued occupation of Migingo and Ugingo islands by Uganda Security Forces. That Report has just been tabled this afternoon. 5. The Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) which is governing the relationship between the British Defence Forces who are training in Nanyuki, Kenya. It has been tabled in Parliament and is before the Committee. We are preparing, pursuant to Articles 118 and 127 of the Constitution and under Standing Orders, respectively, to subject the DCA to public participation within the next 10 or so days. 6. Hon. Speaker, we have the Protected Areas Order 2015 with Explanatory Memorandum attached. The Order and Memorandum are before the Committee. In accordance with Article No.118 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.127, we intend to subject the same to public participation before we proceed to interrogate it and write our report on the same for tabling in the House. 7. We have also dispensed with the single Motion that was before us, which was on recognition of Somaliland as a Republic. The Committee deliberated on the Motion and forwarded its preliminaries finding to the Office of the Speaker."
