    "content": "Secondly, the Committee considered the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bills No. 33 of 2020. The report has been adopted by the Committee and is due for tabling before the House. We also considered the Political Parties Primaries Bill, Senate Bills No.35 of 2020 and the consideration of this particular Bill was deferred. We also considered the Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bills No. 15 of 2021 and the Committee wants to report that consideration of this Bill is still ongoing before the Committee. On the BBI Bill, the Committee undertook extensive public participation including three full days of public hearings where it received submissions from a total of 65 organizations and individuals. The Committee, jointly with the National Assembly Committee of JLAC then retreated to consider the Bill and submissions thereon following which has already reported to the House. A joint report was adopted and tabled in the Senate and the National Assembly. Madam Temporary Speaker, we want to report as a Committee that this was a historic occasion and represented the first time that Parliament considered a Bill to amend the Constitution by popular initiative. The report that was tabled by the Committee before this House was as a result of an extensive research work and deliberations by the Committee and will no doubt be referred to by the courts, as you saw what happened in the Court of Appeal, scholars and historians. The Committee has also received additional three Bills which were read for the First Time before this House yesterday. These are:- 1. The County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bills No.20 of 2021. 2. The Preservation of Human Dignity and Protection of Economic and Social Rights Bill, Senate Bill No.21 of 2021. 3. The Alternative Dispute Resolution Bill, Senate Bills No.34 of 2021. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
