    "content": "Hon. Senators, as required by Standing Order No.29(5), the Gazette Notice specified the business to be transacted at this sitting and it is the business scheduled in today’s Order Paper. Indeed, as specified and in accordance with Standing Order No.29(5) of the Senate, the business listed shall be the only business before the Senate during this Special Sitting, following which the Senate shall stand adjourned until Tuesday, 14th February, 2017 at 2.30 p.m. in accordance with the Senate Calendar. Hon. Senators, it is in the public domain that some of the businesses listed for debate today have elicited a lot of emotions during debate in the National Assembly leading to rise in political temperatures in the country. I want to take this opportunity to ask honourable Senators to debate issues in a sober manner consistent with the tenets of our Senate as a House of review. Hon. Senators, I would like to reiterate that in accordance with Article 123 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.71, for the Senate to approve business scheduled in today’s Order Paper, the support of a majority of all delegations, that is 24 delegations, is required. I therefore appeal to you all to remain in the Chamber for the transaction of business as scheduled. I thank you."
