Allow me, first, to take this opportunity to welcome all hon. Senators back from the long recess period. It is my hope that you all took the opportunity to meet with constituents, families and friends, and that you took time to rest a bit while at it. I also take this opportunity to thank all hon. Senators for their commitment and dedication to serving the people of Kenya and dutifully guarding the gains of devolution during the last Session. Mr. Speaker Sir, on Tuesday, 16th February, 2021, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet to schedule the business of the Senate. On that day, the Senate will consider Bills for which, following the Judgment of the High Court in Constitutional Petition No. 284 of 2019, the resolution process contemplated under Article 110 (3) of the Constitution was completed by both Speakers of Parliament. The Senate will also consider Motions, Petitions and Statements and continue with consideration of business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 17th February, 2021, the Senate will continue with business that will not be concluded on Tuesday, 16th February, 2021, and any other business scheduled by the Senate Business Committee; while on Thursday, 18th February, 2021, the Senate will continue with business that will not be concluded on Wednesday, 17th February, 2021 and any other business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as hon. Senators will recall, the Judgment given by the High Court in Constitutional Petition No. 284 of 2019 had far-reaching implications on the business of the Senate. I take this opportunity to thank all Senators for their patience and understanding as the Office of the Speaker and that of the Senate leadership has continued to engage our counterparts in the National Assembly to fast track the process of regularizing and conforming to Article 110(3) of the Constitution. So far, I wish to report that the Senate has made tremendous progress in republishing the Bills affected by the High court ruling and to this end, a total of ten Bills are in the process of republication, 19 Bills have already been published, and 15 Bills are undergoing concurrence process. Two other Bills are scheduled or undergoing Second The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
