    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, the Senate adjourns until Tuesday, 15th September, 2015. We have adopted our calendar for this Session. The calendar requires that today, the Senate adjourns so that Senators have an opportunity to catch up with committee work, county responsibilities and personal commitments. Madam Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank Senators for the work we have done for the past two months since we came back from the other recess. I am very gratified to note that Senators passed five Bills in two months, not to mention very many Motions and reports that we have adopted and petitions that we have handled. Therefore, as I move this Motion, I am very gratified. I take this opportunity to thank colleagues from both the Majority and the Minority sides. We have, once again, demonstrated that this Senate is setting a very good precedent as the first Senate under this Constitution. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also appreciate the sacrifices that Senators have made to be in the House to debate Motions and Bills and to do committee work which is quite involving. I am very confident that this adjournment is well deserved and will go a long way in terms of helping Senators to balance their other responsibilities. As I have said, committee work will continue even during the recess. The only thing we will not have are the usual sittings. Thirdly, Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to remind hon. Senators that we still have business that is urgent which should be transacted within a particular period of time as demanded by the Constitution. For that reason, we intend to request the Speaker to convene the House at some point during recess. However, we will make sure that the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
