    "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, 23rd July, 2019. On Tuesday 23rd July, 2019, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet to schedule the business for the week. On the same day, the Senate will consider Bills at Second Reading stage, at the Committee of the Whole stage and the business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 24th July, 2019 and Thursday, 25th July, 2019, the Senate will consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday and any other business scheduled by the SBC. Hon. Senators, I am happy to note that the Senate was able to pass a number of Bills last week on Wednesday, 10th July, 2019. This was commendable and I urge you to continue in the same spirit. However, some of the business scheduled in the Order Paper ended up being deferred due to the absence in the Chamber, of the Movers of such business to prosecute them. I urge all Honourable Senators to be vigilant and be available to prosecute the business listed. While the House is proceeding fairly well on Bills, there are still quite a number of Petitions referred to Standing Committees for consideration whose reports are yet to be tabled in the House. I urge respective Standing Committees to consider them expeditiously and to table reports on them, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I conclude with the Statement, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Chairpersons of Committees, who have issued Statements pursuant to Standing Order 51 (1) (b) relating to the activities of their Committees for the period 1st January to 30th June, 2019. From the reports so far, the Senate has demonstrated its commitment to serve the people of Kenya, to defend the Constitution and to uphold the rule of law. This is a commitment that we seek to pursue for the life of the Twelfth Parliament. I thank you, and hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the House."
