    "content": " Hon. Senators, I wish to make the following communication regarding the business of the Senate. As you may have noticed, the House has previously experienced instances when business scheduled in the Order Paper is not disposed of in the sequence in which it appears pursuant to Standing Order No.39 due to absence of Senators to either move or reply after debate has been concluded. At certain times, the House has been forced to adjourn before the designated time due to such absence. Hon. Senators, I wish to remind all Senators that the Order Paper which shows the business to be transacted is dutifully and routinely published by the Clerk pursuant to Standing Order No.37 and uploaded on the Senate sub-site of the Parliament of Kenya website and hence accessible to Senators wherever they may be, within or outside the country. Hon. Senators, let me, therefore, take this opportunity, first, to thank those Senators who are always available for the business, but also to draw your attention to those others who sometimes are absent. The Standing Orders, particularly those relating to Motions, particularly Standing Order No.51 is titled “Time for moving Motions” and states as follows:- “(1) The Rules and Business Committee shall allot the time and sequence of the publication in the Order Paper of every Motion approved by the Speaker. (2) Save for a Special Motion, a Senator who has a Motion standing in his or her name may authorize, in writing, another Senator to move that Motion in the Senator’s stead. (3) Where no Senator moves a Motion at the time specified by or under these Standing Orders, such Motion shall not again be published in the Order Paper during the same Session except with the leave of the Speaker.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
