    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am doing that. I am skipping a lot so that I can summarise. We have the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (Amendment) Bill, 2016, which we intend to look at during the recess. We have scheduled meetings with the stakeholders. We have 10 pending petitions. There is a petition to amend the Constitution to provide for the establishment of a constitutional commission on innovation and inventions by Hon. Joel Kiprono Rop. The Committee has invited the Petitioner but he has failed to appear. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is also a petition on the images on the notes and coins by Mithamo Muchiri. The Committee has a report which will be tabled either tomorrow or next week. There is also the amendment to the Accountants Act No.15 of 2008 by Mr. Wachira Kariuki. We have come up with a report and we will table it either tomorrow or next week. There is also the payment of terminal dues to employees of Pan-Paper Company Ltd. by Hon. Patrick Wangamati. We have scheduled a meeting with the Ministry to conclude on the Petition and table the Report. There is also a petition on waiver of VAT on textbooks, journals and periodicals by Mr. Njoroge Waweru. We met him and the proposals are in the Finance Bill, 2016. We shall conclude on the same tomorrow. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we also have a petition on waiver of taxes levied on raw materials used for production of sanitary towels by Hon. Stephen Mutinda Mule. These proposals have come to our Committee and we shall be tabling a report on the Petition once the Finance Bill is passed by the House."
