    "content": "Lastly, on Motions, Questions and Statements, at the risk of appearing to state the obvious, these are traditionally sessional and will therefore lapse at the end of the current Session. Finally, you will recall that on Tuesday, 3rd December, 2019, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock, the Hon. Adan Haji Ali sought my leave to have the period for the inquiry into the matter of “Challenges affecting dairy farmers and decline of prices of milk and milk products in the Country” extended. The matter arose out of a request for a Statement by the Majority Party Deputy Whip, the Hon. Cecily Mbarire. I have considered the request and I, hereby, grant leave. In this regard, the period of 60 days will start running from 3rd February, 2020. Hon. Members, having said that, and as is the tradition of Parliament, Committees have until 13th December, 2019 to sum up their business after which, Committee activities will stand suspended until the first week of February, 2019. Therefore, no Committee Sittings shall be convened until Monday, 3rd February, 2020, unless special consideration is granted by my office upon written request. This is to allow you to spend valuable time with your families during the holiday season and also, attend to your constituents. In addition, this will avail the officers and staff of Parliament an opportunity to take their annual leave and also begin preparations for the next Session. Lastly, Hon. Members, it is my wish that, when the House finally rises today, all of you will have a happy, safe and restful festive season, and a prosperous New Year."
