    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.46, I would like to issue a Statement on the business of the Senate for the coming week. Pursuant to Standing Order Nos. 28 and 29, I will, at the appropriate time, and as listed in today’s Order Paper, move a Motion of Adjournment for the Senate to proceed on recess this Friday 29th September, 2017 as per the Senate Calendar that the House approved yesterday. We shall resume sittings on Tuesday 10th October, 2017. As Senators will note in the Supplementary Order Paper, The Elections Laws Amendment Bill (Senate Bill No.3 of 2017) is scheduled for First Reading. The main aim is to address some of the challenges identified during the last elections held on 8th August, 2017. Subsequently, there is a proposal as listed in the Order Paper, to constitute a Committee to review the Bill and engage the public and other stakeholders during the recess period. We hope that the Committee will assist to take the process forward. I take this opportunity to appeal to the Members of the Committee to demonstrate patriotism and selflessness in considering the Bill. Hon. Senators, allow me to thank and commend you all for the good work done so far since the commencement of this session. I am certain that we shall continue in the same spirit when we resume. Hon. Senators, I now take this opportunity to wish you a peaceful recess and successful campaigns. I thank you and hereby lay the Statement on the Table."
