Although the demolition was conducted safely, we lost one person on Sunday when the building partially collapsed as a result of its weak structure. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."},{"id":1553103,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1553103/?format=json","text_counter":90,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

I am still following reports and analyzing what she may have said, then I will know whether to take another route. Mr. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.57(1), I hereby present the business for the week commencing Tuesday, the 15th of April 2025. This is on the status of legislative business that is pending before the Senate- (i) Fifty-nine (59) Bills, of which forty-one (41) are at the Second Reading Stage, twelve (12) are at the Committee of the Whole stage and six (6) are at the Third Reading stage. (ii) Twenty-three (23) Motions are pending conclusion. (iii) Twenty-six (26) petitions are pending conclusion, out of which seventeen (17) are due for reporting by the respective Standing Committees; and Committee Chairs are here. They should be respectful and mindful of the fact that time is of essence. It is not out of failure for what to do that we provided in our Standing Orders that Petitions must be concluded within 60 calendar days. I hope the Chairpersons who are in the House can help conclude. (iv) There are five hundred and seventy-eight (578) statements pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) that are under consideration by Standing Committees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the technical staff presented to us, the Senate Business Committee (SBC), a proposal on how to manage Statements Time with regards to cabinet secretaries. The SBC requested the technical team to present a paper whose findings we shall eventually share with the House on the issue of Statements. We currently have 578 Statements and some have perhaps been overtaken by events or some of those matters have been resolved. So, we have to, first vet the Statements that make it to the House. Secondly and most importantly, we must also have a timeframe within which we can conclude the Statements once they make it to the Committee. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."},{"id":1553106,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1553106/?format=json","text_counter":93,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen. Cheruiyot","speaker_title":"The Senate Majority Leader","speaker":{"id":13165,"legal_name":"Aaron Kipkirui Cheruiyot","slug":"aaron-cheruiyot"},"content":"The Bills that are at the Third Reading Stage are scheduled in today's Order Paper, at Order Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. I urge Hon. Senators to remain in the Chamber for divisions to be undertaken. I am not very sure whether that is a wise call looking at the House and having served in this House fairly long enough. I know that getting Members here on certain days is not easy. If we do not succeed today, we will try and conclude them on Tuesday. Some of them are very pressing issues. That includes your own Bill, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, where you are seeking to grant autonomy to our county assemblies. We also have many other Bills that are before us. Next week on Tuesday, the SBC will consider that particular matter that I have raised, as well as schedule business for the week that will be indicated in the Order Paper. The tentative morning sitting for Wednesday include questions to various cabinet secretaries, as well as Motions that are already approved. There will be questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. There are also questions to the Cabinet Secretary of Education on that particular day. The tentative business for sitting on Wednesday, 16th April, 2025, will include business not concluded from the Order Paper for Tuesday, 15th April, 2025. The Bills that are at Second Reading are thus listed- (i) The County Governments (State Officers Removal from Office) Procedure Bill (Senate Bills No. 34 of 2024); (ii) The Creative Economy Support Bill (Senate Bills No. 30 of 2024); (iii) The County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 39 of 2024); (iv) The Labour Migration and Management (No. 2) Bill (Senate Bills No. 42 of 2024); and, (v) The Street Naming and Property Addressing System Bill (Senate Bills No. 43 of 2024). Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Street Naming and Property Addressing System Bill (Senate Bills No.43 of 2024) is a very good Bill. We have a habit of people in counties waking up and naming almost everything after themselves. I think they are following up from our forefathers. Nowadays, governors in some counties build roads and name it after their first wife, girlfriends and things like that. This Bill actually seeks to provide the procedure through which public funded infrastructure are to be named. We also have Motions lined up for next week. Hon. Senators will recall that the Senate is scheduled to proceed on recess next week Thursday, 17th April, 2025, in accordance with our Calendar. I, therefore, take this opportunity to urge all Senators with business scheduled on the Order Paper and programmes of the Senate business for the next week to be available in the House to prosecute the same. I urge our party whips to ensure that the necessary number of county delegations is achieved for the decisions to be undertaken when due. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, and do hereby lay the Statement on the table of the Senate."},{"id":1553107,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1553107/?format=json","text_counter":94,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Sen.
