    "content": "Mr. Speaker Sir, with respect to Bills, I had reported last week that the Senate was in the process of republishing Bills in line with the judgment of the High Court in Constitutional Petition No. 284 of 2019. As at now, 19 Bills have already been republished. Out of the 19 Bills, seven are undergoing concurrence pursuant to Article 110(3), while nine have been approved for First Reading as indicated in today’s Order Paper. Hon. Senators will also note that the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 has also been scheduled in today’s Order Paper for First Reading, in line with the Speaker’s directive issued yesterday. As you are all aware, upon First Reading of a Bill, it is referred to the respective Standing Committee for consideration pursuant to Standing Order No.140(1). I take this opportunity to urge the concerned Standing Committees to expeditiously consider the Bills listed for First Reading in today’s Order Paper and to table reports pursuant to Standing Order No.143."
