As part of its tradition, the Senate honours dead members by postponing all items on the order paper at the first plenary after the demise of the member.
The Senate Leader will, immediately after the chamber is set for the session, request for an adjournment to honour the late colleague.
His motion for adjournment will then be seconded by the opposition minority leader while the senate president will call for voice vote from members after which he will make a pronouncement to adjourn plenary till the next legislative day.
