    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1). I hereby present to the Senate the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 3rd August, 2021. On Tuesday, 3rd August, 2021, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet to consider and approve business for the week. On that day, the Senate will consider Bills at the Second Reading Stage, Motions on Reports of various Standing Committees as contained in the programme of Senate business. The Senate will also continue with consideration of Bills, Motions, Petitions and Statements that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 4th August, 2021, the Senate will continue with the business that will not have been concluded on Tuesday, 3rd August, 2021, and any other business scheduled by the SBC. On Thursday, 5th August, 2021, the Senate will continue with the business that will not have been concluded on Wednesday, 4th August, 2021, and any other business. Madam Deputy Speaker, as we are aware, the Senate has been in the process of republishing Bills in line with the judgment of the High Court of Kenya in Constitutional Petition No. 284 of 2019. As of now, a total of 61 Bills have been published. Out of those, 21 are undergoing concurrence pursuant to Article 110 (3); 29 are at the Second Reading and eight Bills are at the Committee of the Whole stage. As indicated in today’s Order Paper, there are seven Bills scheduled for division at the Second Reading stage at Orders No.8 to14. Further, there are six Bills scheduled for Committee of the Whole stage. I take this opportunity to urge Senators to avail themselves this afternoon for the division. I also urge the responsible Senators and respective Standing Committee Chairpersons to be available for the Committee of the Whole to allow for the smooth transition to the next stage. I take this opportunity to applaud committees for their effort in processing five Statements and Petitions referred to them. However, there are still a number of Petitions pending conclusion in the Senate. I urge respective Standing Committees to expedite consideration of the Petitions and any other pending business and table reports pursuant to the Standing Orders. Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you, and hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the Senate."
