    "content": "(10) The Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.46 of 2022) sponsored by Hon. Abdul Rahim Dawood, MP, and co- sponsored by Sen. Samson Cherarkey, MP, in the Senate. In the absence of a co-sponsor in another House, the Bill is likely to be introduced and moved by a Member who may not fully appreciate the importance and gist of the Bill. In numerous jurisdictions, including the United States of America (USA), co- sponsorship of House Bills is a norm. In an effort to show their support for a Bill and increase its prospects of passing the other House, sponsors frequently look for co- sponsors. Sponsors of Bills in the Senate, are therefore, encouraged to identify co-sponsors in the National Assembly and communicate the same in writing, to the Office of the Speaker of the Senate, immediately the Bill is passed in the Senate. The Message to the National Assembly on the passage of a Bill originating from the Senate will, therefore, include the name of the co-sponsor identified in the National Assembly, as required under Standing Order No.162(2). I thank you. Clerk, let us go to the next Order."
