    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.28(4), the Senate resolves to alter its calendar (Regular Sessions) for the Second session for the recess to commence on 11th August, 2014 and to end on 23rd September, 2014. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion has been necessitated by a number of items in the business of this Senate that require urgent conclusion. Chief among them is the Third Reading of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2014. This Bill needs to be passed and assented to by the President as soon as possible so that our counties can have some money during this financial year. If this has to be done, therefore, this Senate must have some patience and a sense of duty so that we sit for a few days next week so as to conclude discussion on this Bill. The second business item is the matter of the impeachment of the Deputy Governor of Machakos County which has been referred to us. As hon. Senators may know, there are very strict timelines. Once the Senate is seized with a matter of impeachment, it must dispose of it expeditiously within 10 days if it goes the Committee route. However, even if it does not go the Committee route, it must dispose of that matter, which cannot happen today because of quorum and because of the fact that some Senators have already started travelling to Mombasa. Although I am told that it is not very clear whether that meeting in Mombasa is there or not."
