    "content": "As required by Standing Order No. 29 (5), the Gazette Notice specifies 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. Hon. Senators, although this Special Sitting comes at a time when we have officially entered the official campaign period for the August 2017 general elections, the Senate must discharge its mandate up to the end of its term. I am, therefore, glad that you all heeded to the call of your constitutional duty and came for this Special Sitting. I would like to reiterate that in accordance with Article 123 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.71, for the Senate to approve some of the business scheduled in today’s Order Paper, the support of a majority of all the 47 delegations is required. Therefore, I hope that some of your colleagues are on their way. I, therefore, urge you all to remain in the Chamber for the transaction of the business as scheduled and until its conclusion. I thank you."
