    "content": " Hon. Senators, I have this Communication to make on deferral of Questions and appearance of Cabinet Secretaries to respond to Questions in the Senate on Wednesday, 27th November, 2024, and Wednesday, 4th December, 2024. Hon. Senators, I have a Communication to make relating to the decision by the Senate Business Committee (SBC) on the appearance of Cabinet Secretaries to respond to Questions. As you are all aware, Standing Order Nos.51(a), 51(b), 51(c) and 51(d) give a framework for asking Questions to Cabinet Secretaries by hon. Senators. Ordinarily, the Questions are scheduled in the Order Paper for Wednesday, morning Sitting. However, as hon. Senators are also aware, the Third Session is almost ending after which the Senate will proceed on long recess from December to January. As such, the pending business before the Senate necessitates that we take drastic measures if we are to conclude on the same before recess. Hon. Senators, at its meeting held on Tuesday, 26th November, 2024, the SBC considered the programme of the Senate and observed the need to prioritise consideration of urgent business. To facilitate this, the SBC resolved that Questions will not be scheduled for reply on Wednesday, 4th December, 2024, Morning Sitting. Further, the SBC also resolved that Questions that were scheduled for reply today, Wednesday, 27th November, 2024, morning sitting, be deferred."
