    "content": "Kericho for the campaigns. Before the end of the recess, we shall invite him, so that we can finalise his Bill. The Insurance Motor Vehicle Third Party Risks (Amendment) Bill 2015 by Hon. Rose Mitaru:The Committee has received comments from the Kenya Law Reform Commission, Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution, Attorney-General and the National Treasury. The Committee also met with the sponsor. We are just compiling the Report for onward transmission to Hon. Speaker, so that the Bill can be published. The Banking (Amendment) Bill 2016 by Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo: The Committee has received comments from the Kenya Law Reform Commission and the National Treasury. It is waiting comments from the Attorney-General. It will also be meeting the sponsor of the Bill, Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. The VAT (Amendment) Bill, 2016 by Hon. Jared Odhiambo Opiyo: The Committee sought comments from the Kenya Law Reform Commission, the Attorney-General and the National Treasury on the legislative proposal. We are still waiting for their comments. The Committee will be scheduling a meeting with the sponsor of the legislative proposal for a briefing session before it compiles its report. We have the following petitions before the Committee:- We have a petition by the Consumer Federation of Kenya (COFEK). We are finalising the report, so that we can table it. We have a petition on the privatisation of Muhoroni Sugar Factory by Hon. Justice Kemei. To some extent, this petition was overtaken by events because of the amendment by the House on the privatisation proposals of the five sugar companies. We have made our resolutions and I shall be tabling the report immediately we resume from the short recess. We also have the petition on the de-gazettement of Legal Notice No.103 on Excise Duty remission of sorghum by Hon. Joseph M’eruaki. Again, this petition has been overtaken by events because the prayers the Member sought were answered when we passed the Finance Bill of this financial year. Another petition is that of amending the Constitution to provide for the establishment of a constitutional commission for innovation and inventions by Hon. Joel Kiprono Rop. We have not been able to progress this petition because the Petitioner has never appeared before the Committee despite several invitations. We will see how we can move despite his failure to attend the Committee proceedings. We have a petition on the images on the notes and coins by Mitambu Michira. The Committee met with the Petitioner and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) on the petition and it is in the process of compiling its report for tabling and onward transmission to the Petitioner. The petition on the amendment of the Accountants Act No.15 of 2008 by Mr. Wachira Kariuki Musa: The Committee had engaged with the Petitioner and the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) for comments. The Committee has compiled a report and it is awaiting adoption. The petition on the payment of terminal dues to the employees of Pan Paper Company Limited by Hon. Patrick Wangamati: The Committee met with the Petitioner. It is waiting comments from the Ministry of Industrialisation after which we will do our report. Petition on waiver of Value Added Tax (VAT) on text books, journals and periodicals by Mr. Njoroge Waweru. The Committee has received comments from the National Treasury on the petition. We will be meeting the Petitioners and compile a report. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
