    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the technician help me by adding the volume? I do not doubt Sen. Kinyua’s hearing at all, I know him to hear from afar. Does that mean that I go over this again? How far? Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just pick from a point in this Statement. On Wednesday, 24th March, 2021, the Senate will continue with business that will not be concluded on Tuesday, 23rd March, 2021, and any other business scheduled by the SBC. On Thursday, 25th March, 2021, the Senate will continue with business that will not be concluded on Wednesday, 24th March, 2021, and any other business. Mr. Speaker Sir, with respect to Bills, I had already 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. I take this opportunity to applaud committees for their efforts in processing filed statements and petitions referred to them. However, there still remains a high number of Petitions pending conclusion in the Senate. I urge respective Standing Committees to use The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
