    "content": "On Tuesday, 26th February, 2019 the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet to schedule the business of the Senate for the week. Subject to further direction by the SBC, the Senate will on Tuesday, 26th February, 2019 consider Bills scheduled for Second Reading and those at the Committee of the Whole. The Senate will continue with consideration of the business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 27th February and Thursday 28th February, 2019, the Senate will consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday and any other business scheduled by the SBC. Hon. Senators, I wish to commend you for the commitment you have shown so far, where the House has considered and passed eight Bills at the Committee of the Whole and Third Reading stages. These Bills are: (1) The Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2017 (National Assembly Bills No.33 of 2017). (2) The Physical Planning Bill, (National Assembly Bills No.34, 2017). (3) The Irrigation Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 46 of 2017). (4) The Kenya Roads Bill (National Assembly Bills No.47 of 2017). (5) The Petroleum Bill (National Assembly Bills No.48 of 2017). (6) The Energy Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 50 of 2017). (7) The Public Private Partnership (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.54 of 2017). (8) The Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.3 of 2018). The Senate also considered and approved The National Assembly amendment to The Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.4 of 2017), which will now be presented to His Excellency the President for assent. Hon. Senators, having concluded consideration of the said Bills, there are still 11 Bills pending at the Committee of the Whole stage. Twenty Bills are due for Second Reading and there are two Senate Bills, where the Senate is to consider the National Assembly amendments to the said Bills. The two Bills are: (1) The Warehouse Receipt Systems Bill (Senate Bills No.10 of 2017). (2) The Assumptions of Office of the County Government Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2018). I urge the Committees to which these two Bills were committed to expedite consideration of the said amendments and table the reports thereon to enable the SBC to schedule the Bills for consideration at the Committee of the Whole stage. We also have several Bills before standing Committees for consideration. I take this opportunity to remind respective chairpersons to ensure that the reports are tabled in good time, so as to enrich debate on the said Bills during the Second Reading stage. I also appeal to Chairpersons to expedite consideration of statements and petitions pending before their respective committees."
