    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44 (2)(a), I rise to give the following Statements on behalf of the House Business Committee. The Committee met on Tuesday this week to give priority for business that will be considered today and next week Tuesday. On Tuesday next week, we shall consider the Kenya Roads Bill 2017 in the Committee of the whole House and the Computer and Cyber Crimes Bill 2017 at Second Reading, should we not conclude them today. We will also table and deal with parliamentary committees trips out of the country. I want to ask the Chairs, please make sure that those reports are tabled. Every trip that any parliamentary committee or Members make is paid through taxpayers’ money and so, those trips and their reports must be accounted for and tabled. In the same week, the House will consider a Motion on the appointment of Members to the Pan African Parliament. We also expect that several committees will table their Reports on consideration of nominees for appointment to various State and public officers within the week, so that the House can give priority to the vetting of nominees reports. Of course, we have the Report of the vetting of the Director of Public Prosecution that we did this morning. The Appointment Committee was also vetting the Attorney- General. There will be vetting of several ambassadors and principal secretaries and so, we expect committees to lay those reports latest by Tuesday, so that we can deal with the matter either way on Wednesday and Thursday next week. I wish to bring to the attention of the House, that in accordance with the Calendar of the Assembly, the House is expected to go on a very short recess on Friday 30th March 2018 to April 9th 2018, in order to allow Members to join their families for Easter Holidays. Finally, the HBC will reconvene on Tuesday 27th March 2018 at the rise of the House to consider business of the coming week. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I now wish to lay this statement on the Table of the House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
