    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.45, I wish to draw the attention of the Senate that in accordance with our calendar, the Senate will adjourn this afternoon until Tuesday, 23rd September, 2014 as indicated in the Order Paper. As Senators are also aware, the matter of impeachment proceedings in respect of the Deputy Governor of Machakos County is before a Special Committee which has ten days to present its report. Therefore, I want to notify Senators that the Speaker will at some point convene a Special Sitting to deliberate on the report of the Committee. Let me take this opportunity on my own behalf, and on behalf of the Rules and Business Committee, to thank you for your efforts during the current second session which has been productive in terms of Bills introduced and passed and Motions and Statements considered. It is worth noting that all the important legislation such as the Division of Revenue Act, 2014 is behind us after the process of mediation as it has already been assented to and so is the County Governments (Amendment) Act, 2014, sponsored by Sen. Sang, which also went through the mediation committee. In particular, this week alone, the Senate has passed three significant Bills amongst them the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and as you can see on the Order Paper, two more are scheduled for Committee of the Whole. I, therefore, applaud all Senators and wish you all the best as you interact with your respective counties and especially in actualizing or operationalizing the County Governments (Amendment) Act, 2014. I hereby lay the statement on the Table."
