    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order 52(1), I hereby present to the Senate, the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 21st May, 2019. I take this opportunity to welcome you back from the 31 days recess. I hope you enjoyed the time spent with family, friends and your constituents. During the recess, the Senate also participated in the Annual Legislative Summit 2019 in Kisumu County. I thank all Senators who attended and participated at various levels in the Summit. Hon. Senators, subject to further directions by the Senate Business Committees (SBC), the Senate will consider Bills due for Second Reading and Committees of the Whole on Tuesday, 21st May, 2019. The Senate will also continue with the consideration of business that will not be concluded in today‘s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 22nd May, 2019 and Thursday, 23rd May, 2019, the Senate will consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday and any other business scheduled by the SBC. Before we proceeded on recess, I informed the House that there are several Bills before the House at Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stages. There are also a number of Statements and Petitions pending before Standing Committees. I urged the respective Standing Committees to ensure that the process of consideration of the said business is expedited during the recess period and table reports on them upon resumption of sittings in May, 2019. You may note that we have 35 Bills pending at the Committee of the Whole. Hon. Senators, once again, I appeal to the committees to take appropriate measures. This will facilitate the House to enrich debate at the Second Reading stage and also effectively navigate the Committee of the Whole stage of the Bills. I thank you and hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the House."
