    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.36(4), I take this opportunity to make the following Statement in regard to the business for the week commencing 19th October, 2010. The following two Bills are awaiting first reading, namely, the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Bill, Bill No.16 and the Judicial Service Bill, Bill No.17. Having successfully constituted the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee and the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson elected, the Committee is expected to co-ordinate the consideration of the two Bills in consultation with the other stakeholders. I note with gratitude that the Bill on the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution passed its crucial Second Reading stage yesterday. The Bill should undergo the Committee Stage and eventual passage by the House in the course of next week. The Tea (Amendment) Bill, Bill No.12 will be listed for Committee Stage after consultations between the Ministry of Agriculture and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives have been finalized. The House will also debate the report of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co- operatives on the Committee’s hearings on the challenges facing the sugar sector in Kenya, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 13th October, 2010. Set to be debated is the Report of the Departmental on Defence and Foreign Relations on the procurement, disposal and construction of properties of Kenya’s diplomatic missions in Egypt, Japan, Nigeria, Belgium and Pakistan, which was laid on the Table of the House on 12th October, 2010. The House will also consider any report by the Departmental Committees, which may be tabled in the course of the week. The House Business Committee will meet on Tuesday, 19th October, 2010, to consider any other business that the House may be required to consider. Lastly, the House Business Committee is calling upon Ministries and Departmental Committees to expedite the consideration of Bills referred to the Committees, in order to ensure timely passage of legislation in this House. Indeed, the provisions of Standing Order No.111(2) require Committees to present their reports on Bills within ten calendar days of such committal."
