    "content": "Hon. Members, you may recall that during the Morning Sitting of today, Thursday, 14th September 2023, the House rejected a Motion to consider Senate amendments to the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.16 of 2023). In the circumstances, consideration of the said business in the Committee of the whole House as listed in the Order Paper could not be proceeded with. This is not the first time Senate amendments to a Bill originating in the National Assembly have suffered such a fate. In all previous cases where such a scenario arose, my predecessors applied Standing Order 149 and referred the Bills to Mediation Committees as contemplated under Article 113 of the Constitution. In this regard, I wish to inform the House that, pursuant to Standing Order 149, Senate amendments to the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 16 of 2023) stand referred to a Mediation Committee. In consultation with the leadership of the Majority Party and Minority Party in the House, I hereby appoint the following Members to represent the National Assembly in the Mediation Committee to consider the Bill: 1. Hon. Owen Baya, CBS, MP, as Co-Chair. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
