    "content": "As you may recall, on the eve of the recess, Membership for respective Committees was approved. Subsequent elections of Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons was done. Respective Committees have since settled and held series of meetings, evidenced by the various requests and documents that have been submitted to my Office. Allow me to reiterate that the work of Committees and Plenary is symbiotic. Therefore, it is crucial that Committees observe the respective timelines in expediting business referred from Plenary and to utilise the various legislative tools at our disposal, to enhance the Senate legislative foot print and output. Hon. Senators, as we commence the Third and final Part of the First Session, allow me to take this opportunity to outline some of the Business that we will be required to expedite during the session: (1) Approval of the nominee to the office of the Inspector General of the National Police Service (NPS), pursuant to Article 245(1) of the Constitution. (2) Election of Members of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), pursuant to Article 50 of the East African Community (EAC) Treaty. (3) Approval of nominees to the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), pursuant to Article 127(2)(c) of the Constitution. (4) Approval of nominees to the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA), pursuant to Article 215(2). Hon. Senators, as I conclude, I impress upon each of us to rededicate ourselves to the execution of our constitutional mandate and to undertake the task ahead of us with utmost integrity in service to a great country. I assure you that my Office and the offices of the Senate leadership and the secretariat, are always at your disposal to facilitate you to do your work. Thank you and wish you a fruitful session."
