    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 30(3)(b), the Senate resolves to meet on Wednesday, 22nd July, and Wednesday 29th July, 2015 from 9.00 a.m to 12.30 p.m. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a straightforward Motion. I think all of us understand why we are re-introducing the morning Sittings. Looking at the business that we have before we go for our long recess, we would appreciate, as an institution, if we could finish and forward it to the National Assembly. We are also facing another challenge regarding most of the Bills that we have forwarded to the National Assembly. We have never received any communication or Bill that has been finalized in the National Assembly back to the Senate. Indeed, as much as we would want to conduct business, I think it is time for the leadership of the Senate also to start asking ourselves how we will move forward and what the law says in terms of the long period that the National Assembly has stayed with the Bills. Having said that, that cannot stop us, as an institution, from finalizing our work. I urge the Members that as we proceed to have the morning Sittings, let us be punctual so that we can clear, especially, all the Bills that are in the Committee of the Whole stage. If we are able to finalize that, I think we shall go for our long recess, knowing very well that we have done our best. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and ask the Senate Minority Whip, Sen. Muthama to second this Motion."
