    "content": "Hon. Members at the Bar, take the nearest seats. I have a short communication to make. Hon. Members, as you are aware, the National Assembly customarily organises various fora aimed at providing opportunity for interaction, experience sharing and capacity building for Honourable Members. Indeed, you recall that during the inception of the 13th Parliament, the National Assembly marshalled a number of engagements, including the 2022 induction retreat and the 2023 post-election seminar that was held in conjunction with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. It is against this backdrop and in keeping with the established practice that I wish to inform you that the National Assembly has planned a three-day retreat for all members between 27th and 31st January 2025 in Naivasha, Nakuru County. The objective of the retreat is to accord the leadership and Members of the National Assembly an opportunity to, among other things, take stock of the progress made during the First, Second and Third Sessions; and consider the expected key legislative matters. Hon. Members, coming at the mid-term of the current Parliament, the retreat will also provide an opportunity for the House to look ahead and plan for the Fourth Session and indeed for the remainder of the term. The retreat will be facilitated by experienced resource persons, including current and former Members of Parliament, and will include panel discussions and interactive plenary sessions. At the end of the retreat, Members will identify possible areas of the National Assembly's legislative processes that may require re-engineering to enhance efficiency. In this regard, I invite all of you to this very important event and implore all of you to make time to attend. I am aware that the Clerk has commenced logistical preparations for the activity, details of which will be communicated to you in due course. Thank you."
