    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.57(1) to hereby present the business of the week that commences on Tuesday, 3rd June, 2025. The status of business that is pending before the Senate is as follows- There are 53 Bills of which, 37 are at the Second Reading and 16 are at the Committee of the Whole. Therefore, as we have always done in the past, I request our whips, both of whom are present today, to help us with good mobilization next week, so that we can consider the 16 Bills at the Committee of the Whole before we proceed on recess in two weeks' time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other 37 that are in Second Reading, I expect that in the course of time, we shall debate them as well and make our contribution. I urge my colleagues to find time to be in the House. It is increasingly becoming a trend in this House to find very few of us around past certain hours when we debate these Bills. I plead with my colleagues that these 37 Bills are very important. They are sponsored by each and every one of them and we need to make contribution. There are 29 Motions that are pending conclusion of which seven are actually scheduled in today's Order Paper. I hope, after we are done with the preceding business, we shall consider some of them. There are 478 statements pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) that are under consideration by our various committees. As Senators will recall, during the afternoon sitting held yesterday, Wednesday, 28th May, 2025, the Senate passed the Division of Revenue (National Assembly Bills No.10 of 2025). In my decade plus of being a Senator, yesterday was one of my proudest moments. It is not mean feat to send Kshs465 billion to counties. I know the journey is not yet over because we still have a battle ahead of us. I am certain our colleagues in the other House might not view things the way we view them. However, getting it to where it is at the moment is something that this House needs to be proud of."
