    "content": " Hon. Senators, I also have a few statements to make: The first one is about the statement raised by Sen. Hassan and most of your contribution encouraged me to sleep over it. I think one night is not enough, but I ask for indulgence for more nights so that I can make it on Tuesday. More fundamentally, we are doing the consultations. We are looking for all the requisite information because by the time your Chair makes a communication, it must be borne by facts, all the issues having been determined so that we give direction in terms of way forward. We do not want to do it half-heartedly thus raising more questions than answers. So, I am asking for your indulgence that we dispose of that matter on Tuesday. PROVISION OF SUPPORT TO SENATORS IN DRAFTING LEGISLATION We want to encourage the Senators that pursuant to Standing Order No.115, when coming up with Public Bills of the Senate, in their individual capacity or Committees of the Senate, you may seek the support of the directorate of legal services for the drafting of legislative proposals for introduction in the Senate. So, I want to confirm that facility is available to each and every Senator, including your Committees. You do not need to write anything. Just go there, we will give you an officer, talk because you are paid to talk, just talk what you want to talk and they will put you to form which you will be working on. ELECTION OF CPA KENYA BRANCH OFFICIALS The second communication is about the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA). The CPA is an association of commonwealth parliamentarians, who irrespective of gender, race, religion or culture are united by a community of interest, respect for the rule of law, individual rights and freedoms and by pursuit of positive ideals for parliamentary democracy.

The CPA pursues these objectives by means of the following:- (i) Annual commonwealth parliamentary conferences, regional conferences and other symposia; (ii) Inter-parliamentary visits; (iii) Parliamentary seminars and workshops; (iv) Publications, notably; The Parliamentarian ; (v) Conference, documentaries and newsletters on CPA activities and parliamentary and political events.
