    "content": " Hon. Members, I have a Communication to make on the convening of this particular Special Sitting. Hon. Senators, I wish to welcome you back to the Senate for the Special Sittings today. The Special Sittings come very early in the year and only days after the New Year festivities. Hon. Senators, let me take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy New Year 2017. Hon. Senators, these sittings also come against the backdrop of another Special Sitting that we had on 28th December, 2016. As you will recall, during the said sitting, I deferred further consideration of the Election Laws (Amendment) (No.3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.63 of 2015) to allow scrutiny by the Committee and public participation by the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights together with the Standing Committee on Information and Technology. Most of the Joint Committee deliberations were streamed live by media, and most Kenyans followed the debate very keenly. Hon. Senators, I wish to take this opportunity to commend the two Committees led by the Chairpersons, Sen. Wako and Sen. Kagwe, respectively, for working tirelessly, and in the midst of New Year festivities, to complete the assigned task on time and I hope they are now ready to table their Report today. 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"
