    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for your indulgence. Mine is to briefly give the Statement of the business of next week, pursuant to Standing Order No.45. First and foremost, I welcome hon. Senators from the recess. I hope that the recess has provided a good opportunity for us to refresh and reconnect with our counties and also to plan for the months ahead. At the same time, I congratulate Sen. Kanainza for getting married during the recess. She was here, but she has left. We are happy for her. I want to bring to the attention of the House that on Tuesday, next week, 22nd September, 2015, the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) will meet at 12.00 noon to schedule the business of the week. Subject to the directions of the RBC, the Senate will give priority to the Bills that are going through the Second Reading and Committee of the Whole, including but not limited to the following:- (1) The Climate Change Bill (National Assembly Bill No.1 of 2014). (2) The Tobacco Control Regulations which are actually subsidiary legislation, but very important. (3) The County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bill No.32 of 2014). (4) The Universities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.31 of 2014). (5) The County Assembly Appointments Bill (Senate Bill No.20 of 2014). (6) The County Assembly Services Bill (Senate Bill No.27 of 2014). (7) Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Bill (Senate Bill No.15 of 2015). Hon. Senators, on Wednesday, the Senate is expected to continue with the business that would not have been concluded on Tuesday during the sitting. We will continue with discussing Bills that are at the Second Reading stage and Committee of the Whole and any other business that may be scheduled by the RBC. On Thursday, the Senate will continue with Bills that are at Second Reading, Committee of the Whole and discuss any other business that will be scheduled by the RBC. Once again, I am grateful that we are back. Going by the record of the number of Bills we passed during the last term of this session, we are able to meet the 20-Bill mark for this session this year, January to December. Therefore, I sincerely thank colleagues for commitment, dedication and quality input into the debates that have been going on here on legislation and Motions. I now lay this Statement on the Table of the Senate. 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."
