"content": "on 1st December, 2016, by a further period of not more than fourteen (14) days from 14th December, 2016; and, (iii) THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 42 relating to reading and laying of Messages from the President, and in furtherance to the provisions of the First Schedule to the Elections Act (No.9 of 2011) (as amended), this House resolves that, during the period before commencement of the Fifth Session, upon receipt of names of persons nominated for appointment to the (iv) offices of the Chairperson or Commissioner to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from the President, the Speaker shall forthwith refer the Message containing the names to the relevant Committee for consideration; and, (v) THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 42(3) relating to reading and laying of Messages in the House, and in furtherance to the provisions of Article 215(1)(a),(b) and (c) of the Constitution, this House resolves that, during the period before commencement of the Fifth Session, upon receipt of names of persons nominated for appointment to the offices of the Chairperson and Member of the Commission for Revenue Allocation, from the President and Leadership of Political Parties in Parliament, respectively, the Speaker shall forthwith refer the Message and the list containing the names to the relevant Committee for consideration. Those are the Procedural Motions, each as I read. The Motion consolidates four Procedural Motions and it is based on the fact that the House is scheduled to go on Recess today, at the rise of the House. The approval of the Motion will ensure that the consideration of the four important businesses listed in the Motion continue even during the Recess period; having consulted my colleague, the Leader of the Minority Party and, indeed, the House Business Committee. The Motion is also premised on the fact that it is envisaged that the House might be recalled for a Special Sitting on or around 20th December, 2016 to consider all, if not part of, the items which include: (i) the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) for the 2017/2018 Financial Year; (ii) the appointment of nominees to the National Climate Change Council; (iii) the appointment of the Chairperson or Commissioner to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission; and, (iv) the appointment of the Chairperson and Members of the Commission for Revenue Allocation (CRA) whose terms come to an end in December. Hon. Speaker, what are we trying to do? What we are trying to say is that within the legal framework, there are certain times given on the BPS; it says within 14 days. So, we are trying to insulate that the House can discuss the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the other committees can discuss the BPS and we get more time so that by the time we come back on 20th December, 2016, the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee can place a report.
