    "content": "(c) should the Speaker receive a Message relating to the Senate’s Amendments to a Bill originating in the National Assembly, the Speaker shall forthwith refer the Schedule of the Senate Amendments to the relevant Committee for consideration pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 145 (Senate amendments to Bills originating in the National Assembly), and, upon resumption of the House, report such fact to the House; and, (d) should the Speaker receive a Message from the Senate in respect of any Special Bill concerning County Governments, or a Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, the Speaker shall forthwith refer such Bill and the accompanying Message to the relevant Committee for consideration pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 143(3) (Consideration of Bills originating in the Senate), and, upon resumption of the House, cause the Bill to be read a First Time and the Second Reading may be taken forthwith, or on such other day as the House Business Committee may determine. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the import of this House is to facilitate any Motion that comes into the House during the period that we are going on recess to be processed as if it came during the normal sittings of the House. This is so that we do not have to wait until we resume for what is basically routine reading of a first reading or committal to House. That could take place without necessarily having to be pronounced in this House. It is a fairly Procedural Motion. We do that every time we take a break so that we untie the Speaker's hands in the processing of Bills that come during that period. I really do not want to belabor the point beyond that. I ask Hon. Members to approve so that we can make progress. I ask the Leader of Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi, to second."
