    "content": "AND WHEREAS, the National Assembly considered the Bill and passed it on Tuesday, 11th May 2021 with amendments in the form attached hereto; NOW THEREFORE, in accordance with the provisions of Article 110 of the Constitution and Standing Orders No. 41(1) and 142 of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I hereby convey the said decision of the National Assembly to the Senate.” Hon. Senators, you will recall that following the High Court ruling on 29th October, 2020, on Constitutional Petition No. 284 of 2019, implementation of the judgment by the Senate commenced. Notably, the High Court ordered that all Bills for which the concurrence process contemplated under Article 110(3) of the Constitution could not be demonstrated be ceased and that the said concurrence process be adhered to before introduction of such Bills in either House of Parliament. Hon. Senators, the Public Collections Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 66 of 2019) is one such Bill, for which the concurrence process pursuant to Article 110(3) of the Constitution had not be demonstrated by the time the High Court gave its judgment. As such, the Bill ought to be aligned to Article 110(3) of the Constitution, following which the Bill will be read a First Time in the Senate. In view of the foregoing, the Public Collections Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 66 of 2019), as received from the National Assembly vide the Message dated Thursday, 8th July, 2021, will not be proceeded with in the Senate. I thank you. APPROVAL OF PUBLIC FINANCE MANAGEMENT (EQUALIZATION FUND ADMINISTRATION) REGULATIONS, 2021"
