    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to move:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 24 (6), the thanks of the Senate be recorded for the exposition of public policy contained in the Address of the President delivered on Wednesday, 2nd May, 2018 and further the Senate notes the following Reports submitted by H.E. the President in fulfillment of Articles 132 (1) (c) and 240 (7) of the Constitution, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 8th May, 2018- (i) Report on the measures taken and the progress achieved in the realization of national values; (ii) Report on progress made in fulfillment of the international obligations of the Republic; and (iii) Report on the state of security. I wish to take this opportunity to move this particular Motion pursuant to Article 132(1)(c) which requires the President to report, once every year in the address to the nation, of all the measures taken and progress achieved in realization of the national values under Article 10. He is also to provide a report on the progress made in fulfilling the international obligations of the Republic of Kenya. The Address of 2nd May, 2018, at the Joint Sitting of the Senate and the National Assembly was the first of its kind because it was the first Address by His Excellency after his re-election. What was covered in the Address of the President was a tribute to Hon. Kenneth Matiba who was a patriot of this country who contributed a lot to its Constitution. I believe that the House, led by you, visited the family and condoled with them. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Senate for that and to pray that the Almighty rests his soul in peace. In his Address, His Excellency the President mentioned the work of the 11th Parliament that facilitated the implementation and came up with operationalization of the Constitution. I believe that the last Senate did that by putting legislation in place at the county levels and the national level. A lot has been done though there are some gaps and loopholes in terms of the legislations that are already in place. I believe that relevant committees will look at those legislations and ensure that they effectively address the concerns. I will ask this House to support the President by ensuring that we protect the interests of devolution in this country. Part of our role and the major mandate of the Senate is to ensure that devolution works. Having come up with the Constitution and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
