    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.42(2)(a), I rise to give the statement on behalf of the House Business Committee. The Committee met on Tuesday this week at the rise of the House. Departmental Committees are expected to table their reports on the vetting of the various nominees to the offices of the Principal Secretaries, ambassadors and High Commissioners by Tuesday, 27th February 2018, to enable the House to debate and conclude on the reports by Wednesday, 28th February 2018. It is also anticipated that the Budget and Appropriations Committee will have concluded deliberations on the Budget Policy Statement with various stakeholders this week and table its report for consideration and adoption by Tuesday, 27th February 2018. On Tuesday next week, we shall have the First Reading of the Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018 and the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2018, which is dealing with the matter of the two-thirds gender law. It is back again in the 12th Parliament. Members should note that this constitutional amendment is the one revisiting the issue of the two-thirds gender principle with regard to Parliament, so all Members should familiarise themselves with the content of that Bill. They can pick a copy from the Table Office. We will also continue with the Second Reading of the Kenya Roads Bill should we not conclude it today. I call upon all Chairs of the Departmental Committees to expedite consideration of the Bills read a First Time and table their reports to enable the House to consider the Bills for Second Reading. In the same week, we shall consider the reports of the meetings of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) as well as the reports of the meeting of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly. Finally, the House Business Committee will reconvene on Tuesday, 27th February 2018 at the rise of the House to consider the business for the coming week. I wish to lay this statement on the Table of the House."
