    "content": "I would like to commend Members for their diligent work in this ending Third Session of the 12th Parliament. The Session has been faced with many intricacies. Indeed, we saw an increase in the number of Private Members Bills totaling 50, unlike in the previous Session. In addition, we had challenges in the passage of the Division of Revenue Bill and the approval of some persons to certain State offices. Despite these hiccups, the House and its committees was also able to consider and pass several crucial Bills such the Division of Revenue Bill and other budget-related Bills such as the Petroleum Bill, the Energy Bill, the Data Protection Bill and the Statistics (Amendment) Bill. In addition to the passage of several committee reports and Motions on diverse matters such as the privatisation of Kenya Airways, the ratification of several international trade treaties and conventions and the appointment of ambassadors, high commissioners and members to various commissions and independent offices, we also marked some milestones which include the translation of our Standing Orders to Kiswahili and the inaugural forum for committees. Upon resumption from recess on Tuesday, 11th February 2020, we will continue with any business that has not been concluded this year. It is my hope that the Members will enjoy the recess period with their families and constituents and come back rejuvenated in the New Year. I, therefore, wish everyone a happy holiday season and a prosperous 2020. I now wish to lay the Statement on the Table of the House."
