"content": "Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 41(4) of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I wish to report to the House that I have received five Messages from the Senate regarding the passage of three Senate Bills and two National Assembly Bills. The five Messages convey that on 21st March 2024, the Senate considered and passed, with amendments – 1. The Coffee Bill, (Senate Bill No. 10 of 2023); 2. The Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill, (Senate Bill No.12 of 2023); 3. The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.37 of 2023); 4. The Food and Feed Safety Control Co-ordination Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2023); and, 5. The Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2022). Hon. Members, the Coffee Bill, (Senate Bill No. 10 of 2023), seeks to provide for the establishment of the Coffee Board of Kenya and the Coffee Research and Training Institute; provide for the roles of the national and the county governments; and the regulation, development, and promotion of the coffee industry in the country. The Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill, (Senate Bill No.12 of 2023), seeks to provide a legal framework for the identification and movement of livestock; the prevention of livestock theft; the regulation of trade in livestock; and the return of illegally acquired livestock and firearms. The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.37 of 2023), proposes to amend the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act to give effect to Article 125 of the Constitution by operationalising the powers of arrest by Parliament, and Article 50 of the Constitution on the right to a fair hearing. Hon. Members, with respect to the two National Assembly Bills, the Food and Feed Safety Control Co-ordination Bill, 2023 and the Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill, 2022, you will recall that the National Assembly passed the two Bills on 23rd August 2023 and 26th October 2023 respectively and, thereafter, referred them to the Senate for consideration pursuant to the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution. Hon. Members, having passed the five Bills, the Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly on the Bills pursuant to the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution and Standing Orders 46(1) and 161 of the Senate Standing Orders. Hon. Members, the honourable Speaker of the Senate has also notified that pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 162 of the Senate Standing Orders, the sponsors of the Senate Bills have designated co-sponsors of the Bills in the National Assembly as follows: 1.

"content": "of the Bill, I am aware of a prior arrangement and agreement between the National Assembly Leader of the Majority Party and the Senate Majority Leader on the marshalling for consideration of the said Bill. For the record, the two Leaders agreed that the Bill would be sponsored by the Majority Party once it gets to the National Assembly. This is to ensure that the Bill is prioritised and considered in an expedited manner since it emanated from the Executive. The designation of co-sponsors of Senate Bills in this House corresponds with the provisions of Standing Order 143(1)(b) of the National Assembly Standing Orders. In this regard, the designated Members of the National Assembly will assume the role of co-sponsor of the respective Bills, and shall be responsible for marshaling their consideration in the National Assembly. Hon. Members, in order for the House to commence the consideration of the three Senate Bills, the Bills are scheduled in today’s Order Paper for First Reading. Thereafter, the Bills stand committed to the following Committees: 1. The Coffee Bill, (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023), and the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill, (Senate Bill No.12 of 2023), to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock; and, 2. The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.37 of 2023), to the Committee of Powers and Privileges. Hon. Members, with regard to the two National Assembly Bills, I direct the Clerk to circulate the Senate amendments to the two National Assembly Bills to all Members in accordance with the Standing Orders. Thereafter, the Messages and the Senate amendments to the two Bills are referred to respective Committees as follows: 1. The Food and Feed Safety Control Co-ordination Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2023), to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock; and, 2. The Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2022), to the Departmental Committee on Labour. I urge the Committees to prioritise the Bills in their agenda and report to the House as soon as practicable to enable the House to proceed with the next stages of the Bills. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you. Next Order."
