    "content": "This shows great improvement at this time. I urge us to continue with the same spirit in service to the people who entrusted us to represent their interest in this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as indicated in todays Order Paper, at Order Nos. 8, 9 and 11, they are division at the Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stage. I urge our party Whips from both sides of the House to mobilize the requisite of Senators for division to be undertaken. Following the passage by the National Assembly of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2023, it is expected that the County Government Cash Disbursement Schedule, will be introduced in the coming days for consideration by the Senate. I want to laud the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for the timely consideration of critical financial instruments and tabling of the reports thereon, and urge other Committees to emulate this kind of dedication. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have 22 Motions that are pending before the Senate. I continue to urge the respective movers to be available in the Chamber whenever their Motions are scheduled in the Order Paper. A total of 12 petitions are now due for reporting. As I indicated last week and will emphasize again, that there are four petitions which are due for reporting by the Standing Committees on Roads, Transport and Housing. I can see the Chairperson is in the House. I hope he takes note of that. Due for reporting means that the statutory 60 days timeframe within which we are to report to petitioners has lapsed. Therefore, we expect you Sen. Karungo and your team to actually report back to the House on the progress. I hope you will take advantage of the recess to conclude on this business. Three petitions are due for reporting by the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I do not see the Chairperson, but I am sure the Members are there. Two petitions are due for reporting by the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. One Petition is due for reporting by the Standing Committee on Education. One Petition is due for reporting by the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and one Petition is due for reporting by the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. I request the Standing Committees to expedite consideration of these Petitions and table reports as required under Standing Order No.238 (2). Mr. Speaker, Sir, Statements are increasingly being sought pursuant to Standing Order No.53 and others issued pursuant to Standing Order No.52. A total of 141 statements are pending conclusion by Standing Committees. I urge the respective Committees to expedite consideration of the same and table reports pursuant to the Standing Orders. I also encourage Chairpersons of Standing Committees to utilize Standing Order No.56 (1)(a) to present statements on matters for which the committees are responsible to apprise the House from time to time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for our Chairpersons to note that the provisions of Standing Order No.56 (1) are available for their use. This is to regularly update the House"
