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 Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No.3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 57 of 2019) is one such Bill, for which the concurrence process pursuant to Article 110 (3) of the Constitution had not been 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 Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) (No.3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 57 of 2019), as received from the National Assembly vide the Message dated Tuesday, 17th August, 2021, will not be proceeded with in the Senate. I thank you, Senators."
