    "content": "The Session saw the House transact key business. Quite notable too is the early mastery of parliamentary procedures and practices among first time legislators as we approached the end of the Session. I want to encourage those that have yet to come to terms with the practices and procedures of the House to pay keener interest to what happens in the House. We have also benefited immensely from the long serving Members of the House. You have, as a House, made tremendous contribution to the governance of our country be it in plenary, in committees or across the constituencies you represent. As is our tradition, Committee activities will hereafter stand suspended from 11th December 2018 until Monday, 4th February 2019 being the first week of February 2019 except Public Accounts Committee and Public Investments Committees whose sittings shall stand suspended until Monday, 28th January 2019 in recognition of the nature of their mandates. The suspension is to allow you to spend valuable time with your families, those who have, during the holiday season and also attend to your constituents. In addition, this will give the staff of Parliament an opportunity to take their annual leave and also begin preparations for the next Session. Hon. Members, I wish you a happy, safe and restful festive season, and a prosperous New Year, 2019. Let us move to the next Order."
