    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(b), this House resolves to hold Morning Sittings on Thursdays commencing from 9.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. for purposes of considering urgent Business before the House, as follows:- (i) Thursday, 18th August, 2016; and, (ii) Thursday, 25th August, 2016. As Members may be aware, this House extended time for consideration of five constitutional Bills by one year to 27th August, 2016, which is two weeks away. We have managed to conclude 10 of these constitutional Bills while seven are pending consideration after being referred back to this House by the Senate. It is, therefore, imperative that the House goes an extra mile to conclude these Bills before the deadline. These Bills are:- 1. The Energy Bill, 2015 which is scheduled for consideration today; 2. The Protection of Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Expression Bill, 2015; 3. The Fiscal Bill, 2015; 4. The Forest Conservation and Management Bill, 2015; 5. The Natural Resources (Classes of Transactions Subject to Ratification) Bill, 2015; and, 6. The Access to Information Bill, 2015. Hon. Speaker, it is also important for the House to consider the Finance Bill, 2016 which should be concluded on or before 28th September, 2016. The House is scheduled to go for a long recess starting 2nd September, 2016 to October 3rd 2016. Therefore, we ought to finalise the consideration of the Bills before proceeding for the recess. The House Business Committee is envisaged to also schedule Senate Bills, committee reports and several Private Members’ Bills for debate. Following the business line up, I propose morning sittings for Thursday of 18th and 25th August, 2016 so as to complete the business schedules. I beg to move."
