    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to issue a Statement under Standing Order No.45 regarding next week’s business. On Tuesday next week we will have the usual Rules and Business Committee (RBC) meeting at 12.00 p.m. Subject to the directions of the RBC, the House will discuss business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, we will continue with business that will not be concluded on Tuesday next week and any other business that will be scheduled by the RBC. Following the decision recently of the RBC, where it was decided that Motions be given priority on Thursdays, on Thursday 12th March, 2015, the House is expected to debate a number of Motions including but not limited to the following Motions:- 1. Motion by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. on initiation of legislation to provide for the establishment of an independent Commission of Inquiry into the boundaries of counties. 2. Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Agnes Zani on re-classification of all secondary schools as county schools. 3. Motion by Sen. (Dr.) Wilfred Machage on review of existing legislation to take care of dementia patients. On Thursday, the Senate will also continue considering any other business, including consideration of the various Bills that are going through Second Reading and Committee of the Whole. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the hon. Senators for working very hard in the last few days and approving a number of critical reports, including the following:- 1. The Report of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding the Budget Policy Statement for 2015. 2. The Report of the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government on the suitability of the nominees to the Commission of Inquiry into the Petition to dissolve Makueni County Government. 3. The joint reports on the nominee for appointment to the position of the Inspector-General of the National Police Service. Mr. Speaker, Sir, at this juncture, I want to appeal to Senators that we should keep the same spirit. We continue to require the requisite numbers to be able to transact business, especially concerning Bills, and so far, so good. We are hopeful that if we continue in this spirit, this year will be a remarkable Session in terms of delivery by this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now lay this Statement on the Table of the House. Thank you."
