Senators back from recess, which coincided with the observance of the Easter holiday for the Christians and Ramadhan for the Muslims. I hope you had time to meet with your constituents, friends, and families over the past two weeks. I also hope that you took some time to rest and rejuvenate your spirits for the resumption of regular sittings. Part II of the Senate Calendar commences today and will run until the rise of the Senate on Thursday, 30th May, 2024. In the coming days, we expect the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to table its report on the Division of Revenue Bill. The passage of the Division of Revenue Bill will be followed by the introduction of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill and the respective Cash Disbursements Schedules. These are crucial financial instruments for the effective functioning of county governments. I urge the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "Sen. Tobiko and Majority Leader, may the Chair be heard in silence. As hon. Senators are aware, the legislative business before the Senate is heavy. The Speaker in consultation with the Senate leadership will be keen to implement measures aimed at expediting the processing of the legislative agenda of the Senate. These measures will include enforcement of time limits on Petitions, Questions and Statements, as well as the time allocation for Motions and Bills, pursuant to the Standing Orders. In this respect and to facilitate expeditious consideration of business, respective movers must be in the Chamber whenever their business is scheduled in the Order Paper. At its meeting held today, 16th April, 2024, the Senate Business Committee approved a Schedule for Statements, pursuant to Standing Order No.56 (1) (b) to be issued by committee chairpersons. We look forward to hearing about the work that committees are undertaking, the impact that this work is making, their plans for the next few months and a report on the status of implementation of resolutions of the Senate. Concerning the facilitation of Members of Parliament, the Parliamentary Service Commission has expedited the completion of the Parliamentary Tower ( Bunge Tower ) to bridge the deficit in office accommodation for all Members of Parliament. The Commission has begun the process of allocation and subsequent occupation of the offices. In this respect, the Office of the Clerk will shortly issue a circular communicating the allocation of offices to all Senators. The allocation of offices, as is the practice, is based on the Order of Precedence, as set out in Standing Order No.3 (2) of the Senate Standing Orders. The allocation also takes into account the leadership offices of the Senate. The Serjeant-at-Arms will liaise with Senators to coordinate the movement into the allocated offices. Senators are requested to cooperate to make the transition as smooth and seamless as possible. Hon. Senators, as I conclude, I wish to reiterate that my office remains open and accessible to all Senators for consultations and support in the fulfilment of your duties. I wish you fruitful deliberations in the Second Part of the Third Session. I thank you, hon. Senators."
