    "content": "1. The Public Service Values and Principles Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 29 of 2014). 2. The Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2014). Both Bills have a Constitutional deadline. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you may recall these Bills ought to have been passed sometime last year, but there is an extended timeline which expires on 27th May, 2015. Therefore, it is desirable that they are processed hopefully before the April recess. Hon. Senators, on Wednesday, the Senate will continue with business which will not be concluded on Tuesday, including Bills that will not be concluded at Second Reading stage and further consider the Potato Produce and Marketing Bill (Senate Bill No. 22 of 2014) and the Public Fundraising Bill (Senate Bill No. 28 of 2014) at the Committee of the Whole. The Senate will consider any other Business that will be scheduled by the RBC. On Thursday, 26th March, 2015, the Senate will consider Bills at Second Reading stage and deliberate on Motions and any other business that will be scheduled by the RBC. I note with appreciation the commitment of Senators to ensure that business before the Senate is disposed of, especially consideration of Bills. As we approach our recess in the next two weeks, I take this opportunity to, once more, appeal to you, hon. Senators, to continue to avail yourselves to dispose of pending business before the Senate. I reiterate that as reflected in today’s Order Paper, two Bills before us have a constitutional deadline. I urge that we conclude business regarding them before the recess. I also want to remind the Sessional Committee on Delegated Legislation to table its report on the draft Public Finance Management (National Government Regulations of 2015), the Draft Public Finance Management (County Government Regulations of 2015) and the Draft Legal Notice for Declaration of the National Government Entities (State Organs) as directed by the Speaker, on 17th March, 2015, to enable the Senate to dispose of the matter within the stipulated timeline. I thank you and hereby lay this Statement on the Table of the Senate."
