As I issue this communication, I recall the words of the Speaker during the First Sitting of the Senate on 28th March, 2013 during which he stated that the tasks and responsibilities ahead of us were enormous and challenging and required exceptional commitment, focus, harmony and unity of purpose in the performance of our constitutional mandate. I am happy to note that you have demonstrated commitment and focus in the execution of our core mandate of spearheading the implementation of devolution which is the backbone of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. I once again urge you to remain committed and focused during this last Session of the 11th Parliament as we together continue to accomplish what Kenyans expect of us to do as their representatives. In this regard, please take note that we have urgent outstanding business relating to Bills in various stages and Committee reports which need our urgent and immediate action. I am sure that you will continue to avail yourselves for this purpose. Please, note that the Senate Rules and Business Committee (RBC) shall convene tomorrow, Wednesday, 15th February, 2017 at noon to priorities Senate business including the appointment of Members of the Sessional Committees. I thank you and wish you a fruitful Fifth and last Session. 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"
