    "content": "For avoidance of doubt, I wish to guide the House as follows: That, the annual reports from constitutional commissions and independent offices, upon being tabled in the House, shall stand referred to the relevant Departmental Committee within whose purview the mandate of the constitutional commissions and/or independent offices falls. The Departmental Committees of the House will then consider the reports according to their respective mandates. Nothing shall preclude the Departmental Committees from setting up sub- committees of themselves for expedient disposal of such reports; and That, for purposes of the future practice in respect to such reports, I direct in accordance with Standing Order No.1, that consideration of the said reports shall proceed in a manner similar to that accorded to consideration of audit reports by the PAC and within the timelines stipulated under Article 229(8) of the Constitution, which is three months. Thereafter, the House will debate and consider the reports of the Departmental Committees and take appropriate action as necessary. I thank you. The Leader of the Majority Party."
