    "content": "(3) The Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.9 of 2019); (4) The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.10 of 2019); (5) The Establishment of Children’s Homes (Senate Bills No.12 of 2019); (6) The County Tourism Bill (Senate Bills No.5 of 2019); and (7) The County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bills No.39 of 2018). I urge respective Standing Committees to expedite consideration of the aforementioned Bills and to table reports within the stipulated timelines. This will facilitate the House to effectively navigate the Committee of the Whole stage. Following the Communication from the Chair issued on Wednesday, 13th November, 2019, regarding the Business of the House, I urge respective Movers of the Bills and Committee Chairpersons with amendments to be in the Chamber whenever the Bills are scheduled on the Order Paper. Hon. Senators, as you are aware, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) directed that Thursdays be designated as a day to consider Motions. Accordingly, it is expected that Movers of Motions will be available in the Chamber whenever their Motions are scheduled in the Order Paper. Hon. Senators, Standing Order 51(1)(b) provides for quarterly reports to the House by Select Committees relating to their activities, including consideration of Bills, Statements and Petitions and inquiries undertaken. Last week, I tabled a schedule of reporting by Select Committees, and it is already being implemented. To this end, I wish to thank Chairpersons of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, Education, Energy and Health Committees for presenting their reports without fail. I urge all other Chairpersons of Committees to prepare and submit their reports when scheduled in the Order Paper. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you and hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the Senate."
