    "content": " Hon. Senators, it is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you back to the Senate from the recess which commenced on 12th April, 2019. I believe that you have had an opportunity to spend quality time with your families and constituents over the period and are reenergized for the upcoming business ahead of us. Hon. Senators, during the recess, the Senators had an opportunity to attend and participate in the Fourth Annual Legislative Summit that was held in Kisumu County. The Summit afforded the Senators an opportunity to interact with various actors in devolution. I hope that from our discussions during the event, we learnt something new that would help us to enhance our work as Senators to protect counties and their governments. In addition, I want to urge the House to expedite passage of Bills that the Summit resolved to be prioritized. Hon. Senators, during the same period, you were recalled for a Special Sitting to consider two important Bills; that is the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. It is important to note that the counties depend on the passage of these Bills for planning purposes and efficient service delivery to the people. It is my hope that the passage of these two Bills will be expedited within the next few days. Hon. Senators, as I conclude, once again, I welcome you from the recess and urge you to redouble your efforts in ensuring that we meet and exceed the high expectations and trust that Kenyans have placed upon us. I thank you."
