The first communication regards the breakfast meeting on the County Wards Development Equalization Fund Bill. BREAKFAST MEETING ON THE COUNTY WARDS DEVELOPMENT EQUALIZATION FUND BILL Hon. Senators, there shall be a meeting regarding the above-mentioned Bill. As you know, the County Wards Development Equalization Fund Bill (Senate Bills No.5 of 2018) was introduced in the Senate on 29th March, 2018. The Bill is premised on Article 174 of the Constitution, which sets out the objects of devolution and seeks to establish a County Wards Development Fund. Hon. Senators, the Second Reading of this Bill commenced on 10th May, 2018. However, debate on the Bill was suspended on the instructions of the Senate Business Committee (SBC) in order to allow for more consultations on the Bill. In this regard, a breakfast meeting has been organised for all honourable Senators to deliberate on this Bill with a view to agreeing on the way forward. This meeting will be held tomorrow, Wednesday 1st March, 2018, at the Crown Plaza Hotel, Nairobi at 7.00 a.m. I invite and urge all hon. Senators to attend and participate in the deliberations of this important Bill. I thank you. Hon. Senators, the other two communications that I want to make are regarding visiting students and teachers who have come to visit the Senate this afternoon. 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."
