Members, Article 257(6) of the Constitution affords the respective county assemblies a period of three months after receipt of a draft Bill to amend the Constitution by popular initiative within which to approve the Bill. Thereafter, the respective Speakers of the county assemblies are required to communicate the resolutions of the approval by the respective assemblies by delivering a copy of the draft Bill jointly to the Speakers of the two Houses of Parliament, with a certificate indicating such approval or rejection. Hon. Members, you will recall that during the consideration of the Punguza Mizigo (Constitution Amendment) Bill, I had highlighted several procedural difficulties that Parliament encountered during the process of the delivery of resolutions by the county assemblies to the two Houses. You will also recall that in my Communication dated 5th December, 2019, I informed the House that the Speaker of the Senate and I had agreed to jointly develop and issue standard guidelines for delivery by the county assemblies to the Speakers of the two Houses of Parliament of a draft Bill for the amendment of the Constitution by popular initiative to inform the process. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
