    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you would expect, mine is a bit lengthy because my Committee is extremely busy and has dealt with many issues. However, I will try to summarize. I will table the report and it will be available for all Senators and the public. I will skip the preliminaries. We know that the Committee is established under Standing Order No. 218. Its mandate is to consider all matters relating to manpower and human resources planning, pension, gender, culture, social welfare, youth, National Youth Service (NYS), children’s welfare, national heritage, betting, lotteries, sports, public entertainment, public amenities and recreation. The mandate is very wide. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as outlined in Standing Order No. 215 (2) the activities of the Committee shall entail the following- (1) Bills considered by the Committee; (2) Statements considered by the Committee; (3) Petitions considered by the Committee; (4) Inquiries undertaken by the Committee and progress of any such inquiry; (5) Any county visits undertake by the committee and the outcome of such visits; we have done quite a number. I can see the Senator for Kwale nodding because we have been to his county. (6) The manner and the extent to which the committee met its public participation obligations in respect of the business of the Committee, which is a very important part of our work as a Senate and Parliament in its entirety. (7) Under Standing Order 218 (4), the Committee is expected to scrutinize the resolutions of the Senate and formal undertakings given by the National Executive."
