I, therefore, continue to urge the Standing Committees to expedite consideration of the Bills referred to them and table reports in the House. This will facilitate the House to effectively navigate the Committee of the Whole stage and enrich debate at the Second Reading stage. Hon. Senators, you will notice that in today’s Order Paper, we have 3 Bills listed for Division at Second Reading. I want to urge all Senators to avail themselves this afternoon for the voting process so that we expedite their consideration. Practically speaking, this afternoon we are not going to raise the numbers to vote. It could have been our wish that vote on these Bills. However, I hope on Tuesday or Wednesday, next week, we must be able to put it on Division. Hon. Senators, in addition, there are 13 Bills at the Committee of the Whole Stage. These are - (1) The Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 2 of 2018). (2) The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 38 of 2018). (3) The Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 9 of 2019). (4) The County Tourism Bill (Senate Bills No. 5 of 2019). (5) The County Hall of Fame Bill (Senate Bills No. 39 of 2018). (6) The Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.10 of 2019). (7) The Establishment of Children’s Homes Bill (Senate Bills No. 12 of 2019) .
