    "content": "We have outstanding business across the spectra of legislative business (Bills, Motions, Petitions and Statements) before the Senate. There are 12 Bills scheduled for First Reading, 12 Bills at the Second Reading stage and one Bill due for the Committee of the Whole Stage. There are a further 21 Bills which are undergoing the resolution process pursuant to Article 110 (3) of the Constitution. In this respect, I urge the relevant Standing Committees to table reports on the Bills to facilitate speedy processing, especially considering that quite a number of the Bills have been republished in line with the Judgment of the High Court in Constitutional Petition No.284 of 2019. There are 51 Petitions which are yet to be reported on by respective Standing Committees that require immediate action while Statements referred to respective Committees also require to be addressed pursuant to the Standing Orders. Hon. Senators, finally, I urge you to remain committed and focused, and to undertake the tasks ahead of us with utmost integrity in service to our great country. I thank you and wish you all a fruitful Session."
