    "content": "Hon. Members, you may agree with me that the said amendments by the Member for Kanduyi have Money Bill aspect, as defined under Article 114 of the Constitution and as well as direct implication on the budget of the said pensions and confer a benefit which has monetary implications. In this regard, and in keeping with the provisions of Article 114 (2) of the Constitution which provides that: “(2) …the Assembly may proceed only in accordance with the recommendation of the relevant Committee of the Assembly after taking into account the views of the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance.” I have not received any communication as to whether the Cabinet Secretary for Finance has been contacted in regard to the proposed amendments by the Member for Kanduyi Constituency, Hon. Wamunyinyi. I, therefore, regret that I will not permit the proposed amendments to be considered by the House in the absence of a proper recommendation, as envisioned in the Constitution. In conclusion, therefore, the amendments proposed by the Member for Kanduyi to the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No.3) Bill 2019 as contained in today’s Order Paper will not be proceeded with in Committee of the whole House. Hon. Members, I now order that the Committee of the whole House do proceed in accordance with the guidance herein above. I thank you. Next Order!"
