This implies that it will be introduced in both Houses at the same time and be processed in a parallel manner. My colleague and I will be updating each other and the respective Houses whenever necessary. In compliance with paragraph 5 of the guidelines, the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament expect the Clerks of the two Houses to publish, at the appropriate time, the following information in, at least, two newspapers of national circulation and in the Kenya Gazette for general information of the public: 1. The list of county assemblies that have submitted the draft Bill and the certificate approving the Bill jointly to the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament. 2. The list of county assemblies that have submitted the draft Bill and the certificate rejecting the Bill jointly to the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament. 3. The list of county assemblies that have not submitted the draft Bill and the certificate. With respect to the un-submitted or incomplete or inconsistent returns from the county assemblies, as Speakers of the Houses of Parliament, it is our hope that once this information is published, the remaining county assemblies will submit their respective returns within the stipulated timelines to enable us to conclusively submit to the IEBC the respective decisions of all the 47 county assemblies. Further, with respect to the county assemblies of Baringo and Kwale, I have directed the Clerk to communicate to the county assemblies for purposes of drawing their attention to Article 257(6) of the Constitution, the guidelines and attendant provisions requiring their compliance. At this point, it is not possible to determine if Nyamira County Assembly received the right document and amended it or if the Assembly passed a different document. Similarly, I have directed the Clerk of the National Assembly to seek clarification on the material discrepancies from Nyamira County Assembly and draw the attention of Kwale County Assembly on the requirements of the guidelines. In the meantime, the returns from the county assemblies of Nyamira and Kwale will not count for purposes of confirming if the process has met the threshold of the total number of county assemblies required to approve the draft Bill as submitted by the IEBC. The House is accordingly informed and guided. I thank you, Hon. Members."
