    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to give a short Statement under Standing Order 45. Pursuant to Standing Order 45, if you look at the Order Paper for today, there is among other things a Motion for Adjournment of the Senate until 21st October 2014, which I will be moving later in the course of today’s business. This Motion has been necessitated by a number of recent developments in the counties that require the full attention and quick action by this Senate. Notably, the situation in Makueni, which is mutating every day, requires early intervention by the relevant arms and committees of this House, as well as the situation that has been prevailing for several months in Isiolo County, where there is a total paralysis and the absence of an assembly for three months now. The Senate as the protector of counties and the protector of county governments, and as mandated by the Constitution, should address this issues immediately with a view to making appropriate recommendations emanating from early action. I do not want to speak to the merits of this Motion because I do not want to pre-empt debate. I will give further and detailed reasons when I will be moving the Motion. Hon. Senators, if the Motion of Adjournment is carried, any business that would be outstanding at the close of business today, would be prioritized by the Rules and Business Committee and scheduled for consideration when the Senate resumes as per the Motion. Thank you."
