On petitions, petition by Christine Njoki Mweru on Poor Network Awareness as well as petition by Tripple Impact Community Based Organisation (CBO) and petition by one Laban Omusundi. On inquiries, we got a committee inquiry on the status of indigenous people in Kenya tabled by you for the committee as well as Sessional Paper No.3 of 2023 on the Kenya Policy on Public Participation. During the remainder of the Third Session, the committee has prioritized the conclusion of legislative business before the committee as well as the actualization of the recommendations for amendment to the Constitution as contained in the Reports of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) and the Multi-Sectoral Working Group on the Implementation of the two-thirds gender principle, which is something we did today in our committee session. As I conclude, I wish to thank the Office of the Speaker and Clerk of the Senate for the steadfast support that they have accorded this committee, as well as the Members of the committee for their utmost dedication and commitment to duty. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
