    "content": " Mr. Speaker, I would have wanted my unverified assistant, but I am told she misbehaved before I came into the House. I am still following reports and analyzing what she may have said, then I will know whether to take another route. Mr. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.57(1), I hereby present the business for the week commencing Tuesday, the 15th of April 2025. This is on the status of legislative business that is pending before the Senate- (i) Fifty-nine (59) Bills, of which forty-one (41) are at the Second Reading Stage, twelve (12) are at the Committee of the Whole stage and six (6) are at the Third Reading stage. (ii) Twenty-three (23) Motions are pending conclusion. (iii) Twenty-six (26) petitions are pending conclusion, out of which seventeen (17) are due for reporting by the respective Standing Committees; and Committee Chairs are here. They should be respectful and mindful of the fact that time is of essence. It is not out of failure for what to do that we provided in our Standing Orders that Petitions must be concluded within 60 calendar days. I hope the Chairpersons who are in the House can help conclude. (iv) There are five hundred and seventy-eight (578) statements pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) that are under consideration by Standing Committees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the technical staff presented to us, the Senate Business Committee (SBC), a proposal on how to manage Statements Time with regards to cabinet secretaries. The SBC requested the technical team to present a paper whose findings we shall eventually share with the House on the issue of Statements. We currently have 578 Statements and some have perhaps been overtaken by events or some of those matters have been resolved. So, we have to, first vet the Statements that make it to the House. Secondly and most importantly, we must also have a timeframe within which we can conclude the Statements once they make it to the Committee. 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."
