    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1), I hereby present the business of the Senate for the week commencing Tuesday, 9th November, 2021. Before I proceed with the Statement, allow me to take this opportunity to welcome the hon. Senators back from the short recess between 22nd October and 1st November, 2021. I trust that they are well and had an opportunity to interact with their constituents, family and friends. On Tuesday, 9th November, 2021, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet to consider and approve the business for the week. Subject to approval by the Committee, the Senate will consider Bills at the Second Reading stage, Bills at the Committee of the Whole stage and Motions on reports filed by Select Committees. On Wednesday, 10th November, 2021 and Thursday, 11th November, 2021, the Senate will consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday, 10th November, 2021, respectively, and any other business scheduled by the SBC, including Petitions and Statements. There are 12 Bills due for the Committee of the Whole stage and 23 Bills due for Second Reading, while there are nine Motions pending debate and conclusion, some of which have been outstanding since February this year despite them being scheduled almost on a daily basis. These Bills have been allocated slots in the Weekly Programme of Senate business that is circulated every Friday. In this regard, I urge respective Movers to be available in the Senate whenever their Bills are scheduled in the Order Paper. Standing committees are encouraged to hasten consideration of Bills referred to them and table reports thereon, while committee chairpersons and individual Senators proposing amendments are urged to be available in the Chamber to move the same at the Committee of the Whole stage. Allow me at this juncture to point out that as indicated at Orders No.9 and 10 in the Order Paper for today, there are Divisions on Bills at the Second Reading stage. I urge all Senators to avail themselves for the division for smooth transition to the next stage. Hon. Senators, the following is an outlook of Business to be expected for next week – (1) Committee of the Whole on the following Bills – (a) The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2021). (b) The Kenyan Sign Language Bill (Senate Bills No.5 of 2021) by Sen. (Dr) Getrude Musuruve and Sen. (Prof) Margaret Kamar. (c) The Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.15 of 2021) by Sen. Abshiro Halake."
