    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, which I chair, I request for extension of the period for consideration of the Kenyan Coast Guard Services Bill, 2017. The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security was scheduled to meet with stakeholders in the first week of March 2018, to consider the Kenya Coast Guard Service Bill, 2017. However, the House went for a post-election seminar in Mombasa from 4th to 8th March, 2018. Consequently, the Committee rescheduled the meeting with stakeholders for Monday, 12th March 2018. In a letter dated Monday, 12th March 2018, the Committee was informed that the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, was out of the country attending a bilateral security meeting in Washington, DC, USA. Therefore, was unable to attend the meeting. Further, on the same letter, the Ministry requested the Committee to reschedule the meeting on a date after 20th March 2018 when the Cabinet Secretary (CS) is expected to have been back. As a consequence, the Committee has rescheduled meeting with all the stakeholders until Thursday, 22nd March 2018 and thereafter table a report on the Floor of the House. It is in this regard that the Committee is requesting for more time to undertake stakeholders’ engagement. Thank you."
