    "content": "(i) A report from the Liaison Committee on the activities and operations of select committees during the Third Session. We normally present this report, as we draw near to the end of a session. I have already mentioned that this House will rise for a short recess on 12th June, 2025, as per the calendar that we passed here. (ii) There is a report from the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations into the inquiry on the state of governance in the County Government of Garissa, arising from a statement sought by Sen. Abdul Haji. (iii) There is a report from the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on its inquiry into the state of markets in Vihiga and Bungoma counties, arising from Sen. Osotsi’s and Sen. Wakoli's statements. (iv) There are reports from the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration into inquiry of diversity and inclusivity in the staff composition of state agencies. This is a very important statement and I hope Members will be at hand to hear and peruse through this report. Why do I say this? If you recall, after the 25th June, 2024 protest, we passed a Motion in this House and part of the requirements that we mentioned in that particular Motion was inclusivity in state agencies. I have seen various state agencies appearing before our Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration. I hope they will eventually present that report to give a glimpse or highlight of the dominant communities in the parastatals. More importantly, I hope they will state the measures being put in place to ensure that there is inclusivity in job opportunities in the public sector. That is a very important assignment and I hope this Committee is undertaking it with all seriousness. I look forward to that. (v) There is also a report that will be presented here on the welfare of interns that are working under the Public Service Commission (PSC). It arises from a Statement that was sought by one of us. Therefore, the next two weeks are extremely busy with very important business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know you have the powers to ensure that people stay within the precincts of Parliament by reducing what you know you need to reduce. I need not mention them. Otherwise, I thank you and lay the Statement on the Table of the Senate."
