Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 41(4) of the National Assembly, I wish to convey to the House that I have received a Message from the Senate regarding the passage of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2022). The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.5 of 2022) was published vide Kenya Gazette Supplement No.176 of 8th November 2022, as a Bill to amend the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, to provide for a structured mechanism through which Parliament is able to receive reports from public officers on the resolutions passed by Parliament; and for connected purposes. The Message conveys that on Tuesday, 13th June 2023, the Senate considered and passed the said Bill with Amendments. Having considered and passed the Bill, the Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly on the Bill pursuant to Article 110(4) of the Constitution and Standing Orders 46(1) of the Senate’s Standing Orders. Standing Order 143(1)(c) of the National Assembly requires the Speaker to cause a Bill received from the Senate to be read a First Time upon conveyance of its Message. I, therefore, direct the Clerk to have the Bill listed in the Order Paper for the First Reading at the next Sitting. After being Read for the First Time, the Bill will stand committed to the Committee of Powers and Privileges for consideration."
