    "content": "Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.46, this is to present to the Senate, business for the coming week. As Senators may recall in yesterday’s Supplementary Order Paper, the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.39 of 2017) was scheduled for First and Second Reading, which were concluded. Further consideration of the Bill will continue today with deliberations at Committee of the Whole and the Third Reading stages. Noting the importance of the task ahead, I urge all Senators to be present – and I emphasize, to be present especially those on the side that I am facing – in the House. This is for purposes of undertaking our duty to the Kenyan people. The enthusiasm, energy and focus that was exhibited yesterday and the subsequent passing of the Election Laws (Amendment)Bill (National Assembly Bill No.39 of 2017) at the Second Reading Stage is commendable. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Orders No.28 and 29, I will, at the appropriate time, and as listed in today’s Order Paper, move a motion for the senate to proceed on a recess beginning this Friday 13th October to 6th November, 2017 as per the senate calendar that the House approved. We shall resume sittings on Tuesday, 7th November, 2017. As we go on recess, let us all engage in peaceful campaigns and even as we enter the final stretch of the campaign. Kenya is a God fearing nation. Let us preach one word; peace. May the best side win in the upcoming elections. Mr. Speaker and hon. Senators, there is a lot of business that is being processed and by the time we come from the recess, we shall have a basket full. We are also certain that we shall be able to constitute committees soon after recess and I, therefore, urge that we all roll up our sleeves and come back prepared to continue to serve our people. 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 of the senate."
