    "content": "(Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai): Hon. Members, before we go to debate, I would like to give a communication. Pursuant to Standing Order 41(1) of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I wish to report to the House that I have received a message from the Senate regarding the passage of the Affordable Housing Bill (National Assembly Bill No.75 of 2023). The Message conveys that on Wednesday, 12th March 2024, the Senate considered and passed the Bill with amendments. You will recall that on Wednesday, 21st February 2024, the National Assembly considered and passed this Bill with amendments, following which the Speaker referred the Bill to the Senate for consideration pursuant to provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution. In this regard, the Message and the Schedule of the amendments are hereby referred to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works to jointly consider and report to the House. I further direct the Clerk to circulate these amendments to all Members in accordance with Standing Order 145. Noting the urgent nature of this Bill, I urge the two Committees to expeditiously consider the amendments to the Bill and submit a report to guide and enable the House to conclude the next steps. Additionally, the Committees are encouraged to liaise with the sponsor of the Bill in processing the Senate amendments. The House is accordingly guided. Thank you 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"
