    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will read the Statement on behalf of the Chairperson, who is indisposed. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 56 (1) (b) of the Senate Standing Orders to make a Statement relating to the activities of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations for the period April to August, 2024. During the period under reference, the Committee held 28 sittings, at which it considered various legislative proposals, Bills, Statements, Petitions, Motions, a resolution from a County Assembly and approval hearing and stakeholder’s engagement as set out below- (1) The Committee conducted pre-publication scrutiny on the Protection of Criminal Infrastructure Bill, 2024, legislative proposal sponsored by Sen. Chesang, MP. The Committee approved the proposal, which has since been published as a Bill. (2) The Committee considered two Bills during the reporting period namely; The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) (Amendment) Bill, 2024 and The National Disaster Risk Management Bill, 2023 (National Assembly Bill No.23 of 2024). Owing to the ongoing public discourse on the effects of miraa and muguka, the Committee sought extension of time to consider the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) (Amendment) Bill, 2024 so as to engage the public in Meru, Embu and Coastal counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
