"content": "The Committee met this week at the rise of the House to prioritise business for consideration. Members will recall that last week, we passed the Budget Estimates in the Committee of Supply. In this regard, the Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee, has confirmed that the Appropriations Bill, 2018 will be published this weekend. The Bill will give legal effect to the resolutions made on the Budget Estimates, 2018/2019. Therefore, we shall consider all stages of the Appropriations Bill, 2018 on Tuesday next week. As Members may be aware, failure to pass the Appropriations Bill by Wednesday next week will occasion this House to pass a Vote on Account, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 242 as read together with Article 222 of the Constitution. This is meant to allow the national Government to spend no more than a half of the Estimates tabled in the National Assembly until passage and assent of the Appropriations Bill. In the same week, the House will also consider the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018 and the Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2017 in the Committee of the whole House. We shall also consider the following Bills in Second Reading: (i) The County Governments’ Retirement Scheme Bill, 2018; (ii) The Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018; (iii) The Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2018; (iv) The Warehouse Receipts System Bill, 2018; (v) The Saco Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2018; and, (vi) The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2018. Hon. Speaker, on Questions before Committees, I wish to remind Members that CSs are scheduled to appear before Committees on Tuesday 26th June 2018. That will be next week on Tuesday. (i) The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government will appear before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to answer questions from Hon. Didmus Wekesa, MP, Hon. Martha Wangari, MP, Hon. Muturi Kigano, MP, Hon. Mohamed Duale, MP, Hon. Janet Ong’era, MP, Hon. Omboko Milemba, MP and Hon. Jeremiah Lomorukai, MP in the Main Chamber, Parliament Buildings at 10.00 a.m."
