    "content": "As you may all be aware, it is a tradition of the House to hold a leadership retreat at the beginning of every Session of Parliament with the objective of taking stock of the previous Session and planning ahead for the new Session. In this regard, the Annual Leadership Retreat under the theme: “Reflections, Planning and Forging Ahead” was held last week in Mombasa. The retreat brought together the presidium of the House, party leaders and whips, chairpersons of committees, Members of the House Business Committee, Parliamentary Service Commission and senior staff. Hon. Members, during the retreat participants engaged in planning for the Third Session by discussing the calendar of the Session and priority business, the date of the next General Elections, improving decorum and the general conduct of Members owing to the unprecedented grave disorderly conduct witnessed during the last Session, the progress and challenges in the management of committees and processing of the 2015 Budget among other pertinent issues. The retreat was therefore not only timely and enriching but it also laid a foundation on which the Third Session has taken off. I take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in the retreat. The resolutions emanating from the retreat propose improvements on various matters including the manner in which proceedings of the House are conducted and also The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
