    "content": "the progress of the Senate between now and next week at least to increase the number so that we do not have many of those 26 not being passed into law. Among the legislative proposals that have been assented to, I wish to highlight on those that have far reaching implications and are unique in nature without mentioning the obvious; the Finance and Budget associated laws, which are considered every year. They include the WAQF Bill, 2017 - which sort out the issues for the Muslim Community; the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Bill; the Physical Planning and Land Use Bill, 2017; the Petroleum Bill; the Irrigation Bill, 2017; the Energy Bill, 2017; the Nuclear Regulatory Bill, 2018; the Parliamentary Service Bill, 2018; the County Government Retirement Service Benefit Scheme Bill, 2018; the Data Protection Bill; the Warehouse Receipts System Bill; the National Youths Service Bill; the Sectional Properties Bill, 2019; the Tea Bill, 2018; the Refugees Bill, 2019; the Early Childhood Education Bill, 2018; the Foreign Service Bill, 2021 and the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, 2021. In the same period, the 12th Parliament considered and approved the appointment of various persons to hold important offices in Government. It is in the 12th Parliament when we vetted and confirmed the appointment of the first female Chief Justice, Lady Justice Martha Koome. Besides, we considered the appointment of 60 Ambassadors and High Commissioners. We vetted and confirmed the appointments of Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and Commissioners, among other key Government appointees. It is also during the 12th Parliament that we made significant headway towards the attainment of one of our strategic pillars – enabling E-Parliament. Although we have a long way to go, we have the necessary infrastructure in place to enable us to be digitalised, including the amendments we made to our Standing Orders. I can go on and on and I certainly cannot adequately capture in enough words the work that this Parliament has done during its tenure."
