"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order 52(1), I hereby present to the Senate, the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 10th September, 2019. Pursuant to the Resolution of the Senate adopted on 14th February, 2019, on the Senate Calendar, the House will proceed on a 32-day recess beginning today, at the rise of the House. In this regard, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) has not scheduled any business for next week. Upon resumption of sittings on Tuesday, 10th September, 2019, the SBC will meet on that day to schedule the business of the Senate. Subject to further directions by the SBC, the Senate will consider Bills scheduled for Second Reading and those at the Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, 10th September, 2019. The Senate will also continue with consideration of business that will not be concluded in today’s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 11th September and Thursday, 12th September, 2019, the Senate will consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday, and any other business scheduled by the SBC. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since we came from the April recess, we have passed six Bills, which have been assented to by His Excellency the President and 23 Bills which have been sent to the National Assembly for concurrence. I wish to commend you for the commitment you have shown so far. However, there are a number of Bills before the House at Second Reading and Committee of the Whole stages. I hope that we will dispense with them as soon as we resume in September. To emphasize the Statement I made last week, there are also a number of Statements and Petitions pending before Standing Committees. I urge the respective Standing Committees to ensure that the process of consideration of the said business is expedited during this recess period and table reports on them upon resumption of sittings in September. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, cognizant of the need to enhance the interaction between the Senate and county governments as a means of bringing the Senate closer to the counties and the general public, and pursuant to Article 126 (1) of the Constitution and Standing Order 31 (1) of the Senate, the Senate resolved on Thursday, 13th June, 2019 that its plenary and committee sittings be held in Kitui County from 16th to 20th September, 2019. I, therefore, urge all Senators to plan to attend these important sittings in our calendar of events. 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."
