    "content": "Chair, the Senate will also consider the following Bills at the Committee of the Whole stage. (i) The Alcoholics Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.5 of 2014 by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki Kithure; (ii) The County Government’s (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.1 of 2014 by Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale; and, (iii) The County Governments (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.2 of 2014, by Sen. Martha Wangari. Hon. Senators, as per the Senate Calendar the House is scheduled to adjourn for the August recess on Thursday 31st July, 2014 and to resume on 16th September, 2014. However, as Members will recall, a joint retreat between the Senate and the Council of Governors has been scheduled to start on Thursday, 31st July and to end on Saturday, 2nd August, 2014 in Mombasa. The hon. Speaker has communicated on this matter previously and written a letter dated 22nd July, 2014 to all Senators inviting and reminding us to attend the retreat. Hon. Senators, this then means, with the approval of the Senate, that he Calendar of the regular sittings of the Senate will be varied. Towards this end, I intend to move a Motion to alter the Senate Calendar pursuant to Standing Order No.24 (4) on Wednesday, 30th July, 2014, so that the Senate adjourns a day earlier to enable Senators to travel and attend the retreat. On Thursday, 31st July, 2014, if the Motion of Adjournment is adopted on Wednesday, the Senate will be engaged in a joint retreat with Governors the whole of Thursday, 31st July, 2014. The meeting’s main objective is to streamline effective engagement and communication between the Senate and county governments on operationalisation of devolution. This meeting will be held at the Serena Beach Hotel, Mombasa, and it will end on Saturday, 2nd August, 2014. I hereby lay the statement on the Table."
