    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kamar): Hon. Senators, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you back from the recess. It is my hope that you have had time to interact with your constituents over the last 30 days and the Committees have had the opportunity to consider and conclude urgent business for reporting to the House. In accordance with the Calendar of the Senate adopted on 20th February, 2018, this part will see the Senate transact business until 7th December, 2018, with a one week break between 26th October and 5th November. Hon Senators, as you may recall, on 9th August, 2018, the Senate approved the amendment of the Senate Standing Orders as recommended by the Procedures and Rules Committee with regard to the procedure for the processing of Statements. The revised Standing Orders have been published and are now in force. I urge the hon. Senators to familiarize themselves with the new provisions relating to Statements to enable their seamless processing both in the plenary and Committees. In this regard, I wish to inform the House that a Kamukunji was to be held tomorrow, Wednesday 12th September, 2018, but has been pushed to Thursday, 13th September, 2018 after consultations with the Senate Business Committee (SBC), in the Senate Chamber to, inter alia, apprise the hon. Senators on the new provisions of the Standing Orders. I also wish to inform the hon. Senators that in light of the new provisions, particularly relating to the content and form of requests for Statements, the previous requests for Statements which had been filed by the Senators but not finalized have now lapsed. Senators who wish, therefore, to pursue these Statements are required to file them afresh, in accordance with the provisions of the revised Standing Orders. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.  "
