    "content": "have come. We must appreciate the office of the Speaker for indulging Members, especially on the sticky topic of what is a related Supplementary Question. We want to beg that you indulge us even further because the Cabinet Secretaries need to know what is happening in their State Departments, whether asked prior, presently, or even in the future. The business for Wednesday, 22nd May 2024 afternoon sitting will include business not concluded in the Order Paper on Tuesday, 14th May. These are Bills that are in the Second Reading stage. They include the National Construction Authority (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.59 of 2023) and the Meteorology Bill (Senate Bills No.45 of 2023) which was moved yesterday. I think Sen. Mungatana, at the rise of the House, was seconding that Bill. Additionally, we have the Statutory Instruments Bill (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.2 of 2023) which we concluded its second reading yesterday, the Wildlife Conservation and Management Bill (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.46 of 2023) and the Nuts and Oil Crop Development Bill (Senate Bills No.47 of 2023). Mr. Speaker, Sir, various Motions include consideration of National Assembly Amendments to the County Licensing (Uniform Procedure) Bill (Senate Bills No.9 of 2022.). I want to urge my colleagues, that upon the conclusion of the Committee of the Whole Stage this afternoon, if you can stick around, we can conclude with this Motion because the Committee has agreed to the amendments that have been done by our colleagues in the National Assembly. It is a very straightforward matter that you do not need to haggle upon. Mr. Speaker, Sir, upon considering that Motion this afternoon, should you find that this is a matter that concerns counties as expected, we can take the vote on it. This is a critical Bill, that sets the uniform standard for license payment across all our 47 counties. It is part of the bills that we have been discussing in this House and many others. There is a Report of the Standing Committee of Health on the alleged irregularities in the procurement of long-lasting insecticide treated nets at Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA). This is a Report that has been tabled before this House. I want to urge Members to read and support that Report. Finally, the business for Thursday will be the business that we will not have concluded on the previous day. I hereby lay this Statement to the Table of the Senate, today, Thursday 16th May, 2024."
