    "content": "Order Members! I have a Communication. Hon. Members, as you may be aware, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.12 of 2018) was published on 10th April 2018 and read a First Time on Wednesday 18th April 2018. The Bill, which is sponsored by the Leader of the Majority Party, contains amendments to 61 different statutes among them, the Kenya Revenue Authority Act of 1995. The Bill seeks to effect minor amendments to various acts that do not warrant the publication of a separate Bill. I wish to inform the House that I have received a letter from the Leader of the Majority Party, requesting to withdraw the proposed amendments to the Kenya Revenue Authority Act (No.2) of 1995 from the Bill. This implies that the Bill will now proceed for Second Reading and other stages without making reference to the withdrawn statute. In this regard, I direct that amendments relating to the said statute be withdrawn from the Bill forthwith. I also request the Office of the Clerk of the National Assembly to publish a consolidated and detailed public advertisement seeking the views of the public on various aspects of the two Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills. The House is accordingly informed. I thank you."
