    "content": "Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 143(1) of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from the Senate on the nomination of a co-sponsor of the Agricultural and Livestock Extension Services Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2022). The Message conveys that, pursuant to Standing Order 162(2) of the Senate Standing Orders, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda, being the sponsor of the said Bill, has nominated the Member for Tigania West, Hon. (Dr) John Mutunga to co- sponsor the Bill in the National Assembly. You may recall that on Tuesday, 27th February 2024, I reported to this House a Message from the Senate regarding the passage of seven Senate Bills, among them the Agricultural and Livestock Extension Services Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2022). The Bill was read a First Time on Wednesday, 28th February 2024 and referred to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 143(1)(b) of the National Assembly Standing Orders, Hon. (Dr) Mutunga will now assume the role of the co-sponsor of the Bill and shall be responsible for marshalling its consideration in the National Assembly. For clarity, Hon. (Dr) Mutunga’s assumption of the role of co-sponsor is deemed to be in his individual capacity as the Member for Tigania West Constituency and not as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. In the circumstances, and for fairness, I advise the Chairperson, who is now the co-sponsor of the stated Bill, to consider recusing himself from presiding over the consideration of the Bill by the Committee and allow the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee to steer the process. The House is accordingly guided. Next order."
