    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 46 (2) (C), I present the Business of the Senate for the coming week. First, allow me to take this opportunity to congratulate all of you for being elected as Senators to the 12th Parliament. Hon. Senators, as you are aware, our core constitutional mandate under Article 96 of the Constitution of Kenya is to represent the counties and protect the interest of the counties and their governments. The great work ahead of us can only be undertaken through focus, determination and patriotism, which I am sure we are all committed to. Hon. Senators, Parliament is properly constituted. As you notice in the Order Paper, we shall shortly approve the appointment of Members to the important SBC. As we go for the campaigns in preparation for the repeat presidential elections on 17th October, 2017, I request all Senators on both sides of the divide to preach peace. Kenya will remain after the elections; let us all remain responsible leaders. Hon. Senators, as indicated in the Supplementary Order Paper, and as the Speaker has communicated, we shall be adjourning this evening until 26th September, 2017 to facilitate the induction of Senators in order to empower you to effectively undertake your constitutional mandate. I appeal to you to create time to actively participate in the induction workshop, in order to be empowered to execute your role as a legislator. Let me also take this chance to wish you every success in your work as Senators. I thank you and hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the Senate."
