Therefore, it is my sincere hope that these chairpersons will comply with the resolutions of the House. Concerning the business of the Senate, the status of legislative business is as follows- There are 54 Bills that are pending conclusion in the Senate, of which 42 are at the Second Reading, while 12 are at the Committee of the Whole stage. There are 21 Motions that are pending conclusion, 20 Petitions that are due for reporting by the respective Standing Committees and 394 Statements are pending before the Standing Committees. As Hon. Senators will note, the business before the Senate is still substantial. It was my hope that this afternoon we would raise the requisite number of delegations in order to conclude on most of this business. Unfortunately, I can see that we are yet to achieve that. It is my hope that before the rise of the House this afternoon, the Whips can work a bit harder so that we can reduce on the number of Bills that are pending before us. I would like to implore the Standing Committees to capitalize on the upcoming recess to conclude on the business that is pending before them, including the resolution that I have just pointed out to on the state of the nation and the various committees that were mentioned. Upon resumption from recess, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet on Tuesday, 3rd September 2024 to consider the business for the week. The tentative business for Tuesday will include business not concluded from today's Order Paper as well as the business indicated in the Notice Paper that is appended to this Order Paper. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had noted earlier that there are about two businesses that are likely to interrupt our recess, but I am sure your office will be communicating once that agenda is properly before you. Following the reconstitution of Cabinet today, the tentative business for Wednesday, 4th September, 2024 will include schedule of questions to the Cabinet Secretary as approved by the SBC as follows- The Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning, Hon. John Ng’ongo Mbadi, will be coming to respond to a Question by Sen. Sifuna on economic planning issues."},{"id":1462217,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1462217/?format=json","text_counter":65,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Applause)"},{"id":1462218,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1462218/?format=json","text_counter":66,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

Mumma. The Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport has to respond to Question No.61 by the Senator for Kisumu County, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda Odhiambo, SC. The Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport will also respond to Questions from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Gataya Mo Fire; Question No. 62 to No.65. Question No.66, 67 and 74 are to the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, the Hon. Davis Chirchir, from Sen. (Dr.) Murango, Sen. Tobiko and Sen. Joe Nyutu. The Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection also has Question No. 85 from Sen. Kavindu Muthama. The final one will be Question No.88 to the Cabinet Secretary Hon. John Mbadi, from Sen. Korir. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the business for the week of 4th September, 2024, Afternoon sitting will include business that will not have been concluded in the Order Paper for Tuesday 3rd September, 2024. There are various Bills that are at the Second Reading stage. I need not mention because a good number are before this House and Members know. There are Bills that are at the Committee of the Whole stage, which include the Houses of Parliament (Bicameral Relations) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.44 of 2023). Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that when this Bill was brought up the last time, there appeared to have either been a miscommunication between the Chairperson and the membership or something was not accurately reported. At the SBC, the Chairperson had reported that the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAHR) was deleting all the clauses that the Senate found to be offensive and replacing them with our view on interpretation of Article 110 together with all contentious issues. That is the work that we expect from the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I hope when we resume we shall consider this Bill. There is the Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood) Bill (Senate Bills No.41 of 2023) and the Fire and Rescue Services Professionals Bill (Senate Bills No.55 of 2023) that are also at the Committee of the Whole. There is also a Motion on the development of a policy and law for social risk management in infrastructure development projects in Kenya by Sen. Mumma. I hope that Members who have Motions on the Order Paper can lead in being present on many afternoons. There are certain days that we have allocation of time to consider many of these Motions, but amongst four or five Motions that are in the Order Paper, unfortunately none of the sponsors are in the House. The projected business for Thursday, 5th September, will include business not included in the Order Paper for 3rd and 4th September. I thank you. I hereby lay the statement on the Table of the Senate."},{"id":1462220,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1462220/?format=json","text_counter":68,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Sen.
