    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 42(2) (c), I hereby present to the Senate, the business of the Senate for the week commencing Tuesday, 27th March, 2018. The Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet on Tuesday, 27th March, 2018 to schedule business of the Senate. Subject to the direction of the Committee, the Senate will continue with the consideration of business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 28th March, 2018 and Thursday, 29th March, 2018, the Senate will proceed to consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday and any other business scheduled by the SBC. Hon. Senators, as you aware, the Senate concluded the debate on the Second Reading on The Assumption of Office of the County Government Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2018), The County Government (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.11 of 2017) and The National Flag, Emblems and Names (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills. No. 8 of 2017). The Bills will be scheduled for Division on Wednesday, 28th March, 2018. I request all Senators to take note of this so that we get the requisite numbers to pass these very important Bills so that they do not delay in this House. As indicated in today’s Order Paper, the following Bills are scheduled for Second Reading: The County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bills No. 6 of 2017), The County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2017) and The Food Security Bill (Senate Bills No.12 of 2017) Should the debate be concluded, the Bills should be scheduled for Division at Second Reading on Wednesday. The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.7 of 2018), which is scheduled for First Reading today, will also be scheduled for Second Reading this coming week. Several Motions will also be scheduled for consideration during the coming week. Hon. Senators, in view of the foregoing, I urge all of us to be available for voting and consideration of the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.7 of 2018) and other pending Business. I also take this opportunity to request standing committees which are yet to table their reports on Bills referred to them, to do so to enable the House proceed to the Committee of the Whole on Bills that are due for the Committee. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I, hereby, lay the Statement on the table of the House."
