    "content": " Hon. Senators, it is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you back from the recess. I believe that you have had opportunity to spend quality time with your families and constituents over the period and that you are re- energized for the upcoming business. In accordance to the Calendar of the Senate, this last cycle of the session will see the Senate transact its business until 5th December, 2019, with a one-week break from 25th October to 4th November, 2019. We have a full plate ahead of us; seven Bills are lined up for First Reading, nine Bills for consideration at the Committee of the Whole stage; 11 Bills at the Second Reading stage for debate and division, as well as Motions on various subjects, Petitions and Statements pending before Standing Committees. It is my hope that respective Committees have had opportunity to consider and conclude business before them and that they will report at the appropriate time. Hon. Senators, let me take this opportunity to remind the House that the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill which are crucial legislations that divide nationally raised revenue between the two levels of government and among county governments respectively, have not yet been finalized. As you are well aware, this has had adverse effects on the operations of the county governments. I direct that these two Bills be prioritized accordingly and dispensed with expeditiously. Hon. Senators, pursuant to the resolution of the Senate on 13th June, 2019, the Senate is scheduled to hold its second sitting outside Nairobi, in Kitui County, from 16th to 20th September, 2019. You will recall that in 2018, the inaugural Sitting of the Senate in the Counties was held in Uasin Gishu County. Preparations are at an advanced stage to ensure that the second sitting outside Nairobi is a success. A detailed programme of events in Kitui County and a logistics note detailing the arrangements for travel and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
