    "content": "whereby two Bills were passed. These Bills have since been forwarded to the National Assembly for consideration. As indicated in today’s Order Paper at Order No.10, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill has been listed. I urge all of us to avail ourselves this afternoon to consider and pass this Bill. I cannot overstate the importance of passing this Bill, which is a Bill that will unlock the release of funds to the counties. Further, a total of 55 Motions have been filed by Senators. Out of these Motions, 29 have been adopted, one was negated and 25 are pending before the Senate. I urge Movers of business to be available in the Chamber whenever their business is scheduled in order to prosecute the same for a speedy transition to the next stage. Madam Temporary Speaker, with regard to Petitions, the Senate has so far received 22 that have been committed to respective Standing Committees pursuant to Standing Order No. 238(1). A total of 10 Petitions are already due for reporting by the respective Standing Committees to which the Petitions were committed. I urge the respective Standing Committees to expedite the consideration of the Petitions and table Reports thereon. I also urge the other Standing Committees to process the Petitions referred to them within the 60-day period as per the provisions of Standing Order No. 238 (2). Statements are increasingly being sought pursuant to Standing Order 53 and others issued pursuant to Standing Order No. 52. I urge Standing Committees to promptly consider the Statements and report back to the House within the mechanisms provided for under the Standing Orders.
