    "content": "A major hallmark of Part 2 of the Senate Calendar were resolutions that we gave to the various committees. Therefore, it is my sincere hope that these chairpersons will comply with the resolutions of the House. Concerning the business of the Senate, the status of legislative business is as follows- There are 54 Bills that are pending conclusion in the Senate, of which 42 are at the Second Reading, while 12 are at the Committee of the Whole stage. There are 21 Motions that are pending conclusion, 20 Petitions that are due for reporting by the respective Standing Committees and 394 Statements are pending before the Standing Committees. As Hon. Senators will note, the business before the Senate is still substantial. It was my hope that this afternoon we would raise the requisite number of delegations in order to conclude on most of this business. Unfortunately, I can see that we are yet to achieve that. It is my hope that before the rise of the House this afternoon, the Whips can work a bit harder so that we can reduce on the number of Bills that are pending before us. I would like to implore the Standing Committees to capitalize on the upcoming recess to conclude on the business that is pending before them, including the resolution that I have just pointed out to on the state of the nation and the various committees that were mentioned. Upon resumption from recess, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet on Tuesday, 3rd September 2024 to consider the business for the week. The tentative business for Tuesday will include business not concluded from today's Order Paper as well as the business indicated in the Notice Paper that is appended to this Order Paper. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had noted earlier that there are about two businesses that are likely to interrupt our recess, but I am sure your office will be communicating once that agenda is properly before you. Following the reconstitution of Cabinet today, the tentative business for Wednesday, 4th September, 2024 will include schedule of questions to the Cabinet Secretary as approved by the SBC as follows- The Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, Hon. John Ng’ongo Mbadi, will be coming to respond to a Question by Sen. Sifuna on economic planning issues."
