    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order Nos.176(1)(a), 177 and 179, the Senate approves the following Senators nominated by the Senate Business Committee to serve in the Procedure and Rules Committee- Sen. David Ekwee Ethuro - Speaker of the Senate – Chairperson Sen. Kembi – Gitura - Deputy Speaker Sen. Elizabeth Ongoro - Member, Chairperson’s Panel Sen. Peter Mositet - Member, Chairperson’s Panel Sen. (Dr.) Wilfred Machage - Member, Chairperson’s Panel Sen. Stephen Sang’ - Member, Chairperson’s Panel Sen. Martha Wangari Sen. Naisula Lesuuda Sen. Judith Sijeny The matter of the business of this House as well as issues to do with the Rules and Procedures has been until now managed by one Committee, the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). That has presented a major challenge being that the RBC has been overwhelmed with a lot of work. Secondly and even more critical from my point of view, the Members of the Speakers Panel who assist the Speaker to preside over this House have not had a forum where they can meet, discuss and agree on how to run this House from time to time. This has its own disadvantages. It is in that context that this Motion has been introduced mainly to split the RBC into the Senate Business Committee and then the Rules and Procedure Committee becomes a separate Committee mainly consisting of all the Members of the Speakers Panel plus one or two other Senators, so that the House is fully represented.
