    "content": " Bill number two is the Potato Produce and Marketing Bill (Senate Bill No.22 of 2014) and the Public Fundraising Bill (Senate Bill No. 28 of 2014). Wednesday 6th May 2015, the Senate will continue with the Business not concluded during Tuesday sitting and consider any other Business scheduled by the RBC. Thursday 7th May, 2015, the Senate will consider Bills at Second Reading, deliberate on pending Motions and any other Business scheduled by the RBC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me remind the Senators that we have come back to a very busy schedule of the Senate. There are many Bills, including the Bill that was read for the first time in today’s Order Paper and other Bills that are at the various stages of consideration. We also have two Bills whose amendments by the Senate were rejected by the National Assembly, for example, The Division of Revenue Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2015), that is being considered by a Mediation Committee and The Environmental Management and Coordination (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.31of 2014) which will be considered by a similar Mediation Committee once your office appoints that Committee. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also have several Motions that are at various stages of consideration. You can see that our in-tray for the next few weeks is full. Considering the nature of business before us, I appeal to the Committees to finalise consideration of Bills within the said timelines and further request Senators to make themselves available to dispose of pending business before the Senate, especially Bills and particularly those with a constitutional deadline of 27th May, 2015. I hereby lay the Statement on the table."
