    "content": " It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you back to the Senate for the Third Session of the Twelfth Parliament. I believe that you have had opportunity to spend quality time with your families and constituents over the long recess, and are re-energized for the Session that is ahead of us. I wish to commend you for the tremendous amount of work you put in during the Second Session, which saw the Senate transact the highest volume of business in a single Session since its re-establishment in 2013. Just to mention a few highlights- (1) The House and its committees considered a total of 60 Bills, 97 Motions, 216 Statements and 43 Petitions; (2) The Senate registered its greatest participation at the annual Devolution Conference and annual Legislative Summit, in terms of planning, attendance and as facilitators in the various plenary and breakout sessions; (3) The Senate and its committees organized a total of 67 workshops to consider critical business for the Senate and visited a total of 41 counties; and (4) The Senate held its first ever plenary sittings outside Nairobi, in Uasin Gishu County, which by all standards was a tremendous success for the Senate in the discharge of its constitutional mandate."
