    "content": "Among the measures in the Presidential Order No.2 of 2021, the President directed that in accordance with the Standing Orders of the National Assembly and the Senate and upon concurrence of the parliamentary leadership of both Houses, which we are doing now, and with concurrence of the county leadership, the two Speakers of Parliament do move to effect suspension of ordinary sessions of the august Houses, including those of their committees and the ordinary sessions of the county assemblies of Nairobi City, Machakos, Kajiado, Kiambu and Nakuru counties until further notice. Like I said, since we are in Nairobi City County, we fall under the directions. As a House of rules and procedures, we must lead by example. The period we have been given can be used by Senators to undertake other constitutional mandates. As ruled by our own Speaker, committees can continue sitting virtually so, we can conduct activities virtually. We can use that time to undertake constitutional mandates that we have and be ready for numerous Bills that will come up for the consideration by the Senate. Owing to the urgency of this matter, we had said that we will deal with this Motion and other matters today and finish everything that we can so that we adjourn."
