I want to take this opportunity to request all Senators to be present on Tuesday at 2.30p.m, because we cannot transact the Business of Committee of the Whole if we do not have at least 24 delegations present. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, hon. Senators, other than the Public Finance Management Bill, there are two other Bills which could not proceed yesterday at the Committee stage which we would also like to take through the Committee of the Whole on that day. These are:- The Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2014 and The National Honours (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.16 of 2014. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, the RBC will schedule Business for Wednesday, but some of the Motions of priority, since Wednesday is a Motions day, include;- Resumption of debate on the Motion by Sen. Henry ole Ndiema on challenges facing health services that have been devolved in accordance with the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution. The second one is the Motion by Sen. Sammy Leshore on the establishment of National Aids Control Council Offices in counties. The third one is the Motion by the Chairperson of the ad hoc Committee on the adoption of the Report on Legislation on Harambees. The fourth Motion is the Motion by the chairperson of the ad hoc Committee on adoption of the Report on Establishment of a Public Compensation Bureau. The fifth Motion is the Motion by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on the status of food security in Baringo County. Finally, the Reports of the Kenya Delegation to the African Carribean and Pacific and European Union (ACP-EU) Joint Parliamentary Assembly meetings held in 2013 and 2014. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, 6th November, 2014, the Senate will continue with the debate of any business not concluded on Tuesday and Wednesday; in particular deliberating on Bills at Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stages and any other business that will be scheduled by the RBC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I just want to kindly repeat that on Tuesday, let us all be here because we have not less than three Bills that we want to take through the Committee of the Whole. That process cannot move forward unless we have at least 24 delegations present. Where a Senator cannot come, he o she should do the usual thing; kindly delegate your vote to a Member of your delegation. Senate Majority and Minority Whips, kindly assist us on Tuesday so that we can conclude these important businesses. I now lay this statement on the Table of the House."
