Senators, Standing Order No. 159(4) further states that- “When the Senate has concluded the consideration of the amendments by the National Assembly to a Bill originating in the Senate and the Senate – (a) passes the Bill as amended, the Speaker shall refer the Bill to the President within seven days for assent; or (b) rejects the Bill as amended, the Speaker shall refer the Bill to a Mediation Committee under Article 113 of the Constitution.” It should also be noted that if the National Assembly amendments are passed in the Committee of the Whole and the report is adopted, we shall not proceed to Third Reading as the Senate had already previously passed the Bill at Third Reading. Hon. Senators, as I conclude, allow me to remind you that in accordance with the Standing Orders, at today’s sitting, the Senate shall only be considering the amendments of the National Assembly to the Bill. The Senate shall not interrogate the Bill afresh and as such, no further amendments would be admissible at this stage. The Senate is required to proceed with the consideration of the National Assembly amendments in accordance with the Standing Orders that I have cited. Please. be guided accordingly. We move on to the next Order."
