    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to move Motion No.8, being the alteration of the hours of meeting on Thursday 7th December, 2023. THAT, notwithstanding the Resolutions of the Senate made on 16th February, 2023, and on 29th March, 2023, pursuant to Standing Order No. 32 on the approval of the Senate Calendar (Regular Sessions) for the Second Session and pursuant to Standing Order No. 34 (4) (b), the Senate resolves to alter its hours of meeting on Thursday, 7th December, 2023 so as to hold a morning sitting commencing from 9.30 a.m. and ending at 1.00 pm, instead of the usual afternoon sitting. This is a procedural request to meet important engagements of this Senate outside this country, in Rwanda, so that Members can be afforded an opportunity to travel to Rwanda and represent the country in this very important event. It is gratifying to note that since the appointment of Hon. Ababu Namwamba as the Minister of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, the country is on an upward trajectory in the performance of sports. It is only yesterday when the under 18 team qualified for the finals in Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega County and Kenyatta International Stadium in Kisumu County. I, therefore, have no doubt that if we allow Members of this House to go to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) games, the same spirit will continue. The only negative side, which I must make in this House is that, it has not been too clear how delegations are traveling; so much so that what we witnessed last year is not obtaining this year."
