    "content": " Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the Resolutions of the Senate made on 16th February, 2021 (Approval of the Senate Calendar) and on 24th March, 2021 (Alteration of the Senate Calendar ), pursuant to Standing Order No. 29 (4), the Senate resolves to further alter the Senate Calendar (Regular Sessions of the Senate) in respect of Part II, so as to adjourn on Tuesday, 30th March, 2021 and to resume sittings on Tuesday, 11th May, 2021, in accordance with the Resolution made on 24th March, 2021; and that pursuant to Standing Order No. 31(3)(a) and (b), the morning sitting of Tuesday, 30th March, 2021, be held until conclusion of business appearing on the Order Paper. Madam Deputy Speaker, it is a very critical and straight forward request to Members of this House to resolve that we proceed on short recess in order for us to deal with the current situation which is very grave in our country, the COVID-19 situation. Madam Deputy Speaker, this is simply to ask that the calendar changes very briefly. For those of us who knew that we were proceeding for recess anyway, on 16th March, 2021, we are simply asking that we add the next two sittings to this recess and we proceed until the 11th May, 2021, to give room for us to deal with the pandemic which is so grave. Madam Deputy Speaker, the President of the Republic of Kenya revised directions of the 12th March, 2021, following the empirical data evidencing COVID-19"
