It has indeed been a working recess with numerous activities running and a number of Special Sittings convened pursuant to Standing Order No.33. However, I trust that you have had time to rest and re-connect with your family and constituents over the Christmas and New Year festivities. I take this early opportunity to thank each one of you individually and collectively for the commitment, enthusiasm and the solid foundation that we established during the First Session, as part of the legacy of the Fourth Senate. I saw a resolute Senate that worked as one to execute its constitutional mandate. I commend you all and look forward to this commitment throughout the Second Session and the sessions to come. Hon. Senators, as we commence the Second Session, and as it has been the tradition at the commencement of each Session, we are called upon by our constituents to play one of the fundamental roles of a legislator; that is budget making. As per the budget framework and calendar, we will shortly receive and consider the Budget Policy Statement, the Division of Revenue Bill, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, and the Cash Disbursement Schedule."
