I am certain that each one of you has a loaded schedule of events at your respective counties. I am sure it is because of the value you attach to the business of the Senate, especially the consideration of key business such as the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule, that you have created time to be here to dispose of today. Honourable Senators, the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2016/2017 was sent to us by the national Treasury and received at the Senate on Friday, 29th July, 2016, after we had already adjourned for the August recess. Consequently, Hon. Senators, considering the need to approve the Schedule, to enable disbursement of the much needed financial resources to the county governments and the need to conclude consideration of Bills awaiting Divisions at various stages, the Majority Leader, pursuant to Standing Order No.29(1) of the Senate Standing Orders, requested the Speaker to appoint a day for a Special Sitting of the Senate to consider the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2016/2017 and other urgent business pending before the House. The request which was made vide Letter Ref. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
