    "content": "Whereas the Mental Health Amendment Bill (Senate Bills No. 28 of 2020) was passed by the Senate on Wednesday, 15th September 2021 with amendments, and referred to the National Assembly for consideration, and whereas the National Assembly passed the said Bill on Thursday, 24th March 2022 with further amendments to Clauses 3, 4, 5, 7 and 35 as attached herewith. Now therefore in accordance with the provisions of Article 110 of the Constitution and Standing Orders 41(1) and 144(c) of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I hereby convey the said decision of the National Assembly to the Senate. Hon. Senators, Article 112(1b) of the Constitution provides that if one House passes an Ordinary Bill concerning counties and the second House passes the Bill in an amended form, it shall be referred back to the originating House for consideration. Hon. Senators, consequently, I direct the Standing Committee on Health to deliberate on the National Assembly amendments and report to the Senate as soon as practically possible to facilitate the Senate to process the remaining stages of the Bill taking cognizant that time is of essence. Thank you."
