We are on Order number 3 which is messages. Hon. Members, Standing order 41(4) requires the Speaker to report to the House any message received from the Senate at the first convenient opportunity and, in this regard, on 19th April 2021, I did notify you of a Message from the Senate regarding the passage of the Mung Beans Bill, Senate Bill No. 9 of 2020. Hon. Members, the Mung Beans Bill which was published vide Kenya Gazette Supplement No.130 of July 24th 2020 seeks, among others, to provide for the development, regulation and promotion of the Mung Beans sector in Kenya. The Message conveys in part that the Senate considered and passed the Bill with amendments on Tuesday 13th April 2021, and now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly. Hon. Members, Standing Order 143(1) paragraph (a) requires the Speaker to cause a Bill received from the Senate to be read a First Time upon conveyance of a message from the Senate referring the Bill to the National Assembly. In this regard, I direct that the First Reading of the Bill be referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee to offer the Speaker advice contemplated under Article 143(2). Thereafter, I shall guide the House and the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock on how to proceed with consideration of the Bill. I thank you."
