    "content": "failure to which such business will be removed from the programme of Senate Business for the week. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Business before the Senate includes eight Bills at the Committee of the Whole Stage and 21 Bills at the Second Reading Stage. Another 20 Bills are undergoing the concurrence process pursuant to Article 110(3) of the Constitution. In addition, 48 Petitions – taking into account the two that were referred to Committees yesterday – are pending consideration by respective Standing Committees. A number of Statements pursuant to Standing Order Nos.47 and 48 are yet to be finalised by respective Standing Committees. From the aforesaid, the Senate has begun the Sixth Session with a full plate. In the coming weeks, we expect the Division of Revenue and the County Allocation of Revenue Bills to be introduced in the Senate for consideration. This will be alongside any other Bills that will be referred to the Senate by the National Assembly. These will certainly add to our workload and I urge Chairpersons of Committees to hasten consideration of Business before Select Committees; and to table reports within the stipulated timelines according to our Standing Orders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at its next meeting on Tuesday, 15th February, 2022, the SBC will consider and approve the business for Tuesday, 15th February, 2022, which is projected to also contain business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. The SBC will further consider Bills at the Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stages, as well as Motions, as will be contained in the programme of Senate Business for the week. On Wednesday, 16th February, 2022, the Senate will continue with Business that will not be concluded on Tuesday, 15th February, 2022; and any other business scheduled by SBC. On Thursday, 17th February, 2022, the Senate will continue with Business that will not be concluded on Wednesday, 16th February, 2022 and any other business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, allow me to thank all Senators for the dedication and commitment they have continued to exhibit in their work in service to the people of Kenya. I also urge that we all continue to do the same during the Sixth and final Session. Thank you and I, hereby, lay the Statement on the Table of the Senate."
