    "content": "Hon. Members, you will appreciate that it is unusual to have two Bills from the Executive on the same matter being considered in the same Session. I am informed by the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, that it had already tabled a Report on the first Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill, 2018. As such, I direct that the Seconding Reading of the latest Bill be stayed until the Committee has undertaken public participation on it, with a view to incorporating its proposals, into the first Bill when it is considered in Committee of the whole House. This will in effect, imply that the second Bill will stand withdrawn, upon incorporation of its contents into the first Bill sponsored by the Leader of the Majority Party when it is passed after Committee stage and Third Reading. Should that not happen, then I will allow the Second Bill to proceed for consideration in the Second and Third Reading. Hon. Members, the Committee should therefore expedite its consideration of the latest Bill and submit its Report to the House before the Second Bill is schedule for Committee stage."
