"content": "July, 2021, as set out in Part IV of the Senate Calendar, and as per Standing Order 31, approved on 16th February, 2021; and that the Senate Calendar (Regular Sessions) for the Fifth Session be altered accordingly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just need to say that this Session has been very busy. Hon. Members have had a lot to do in spite of the situation with the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). Attendance has been very high, both physically and through Zoom. Committees have been working, and many times we have disrupted this Session with Special Sittings. It is, therefore, about time that Members take a little break combined with our normal recess. Instead of just leaving, we will compensate for Tuesday because next Tuesday is a public holiday, Madaraka Day. To make up for that and to try and clear some of the work left, we put Wednesday and Thursday as meeting days, so that by the time we go on recess, we would have covered the most urgent activities in the Order Paper. I thank Members for their patience. I know that they have been very busy. Some committees want to do work even during this time. Some committees are travelling. We want to make this alteration for the convenience of the House, so that we can make up for some of the time that we lost during the many times there have been disruptions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is very straightforward Motion for Members to decide. I hope that they agree with me and we can take this and do it today, so that we can take a little break. I thank you. I beg to move and ask Sen. Nyamunga to second."
