    "content": "of the Bill, I am aware of a prior arrangement and agreement between the National Assembly Leader of the Majority Party and the Senate Majority Leader on the marshalling for consideration of the said Bill. For the record, the two Leaders agreed that the Bill would be sponsored by the Majority Party once it gets to the National Assembly. This is to ensure that the Bill is prioritised and considered in an expedited manner since it emanated from the Executive. The designation of co-sponsors of Senate Bills in this House corresponds with the provisions of Standing Order 143(1)(b) of the National Assembly Standing Orders. In this regard, the designated Members of the National Assembly will assume the role of co-sponsor of the respective Bills, and shall be responsible for marshaling their consideration in the National Assembly. Hon. Members, in order for the House to commence the consideration of the three Senate Bills, the Bills are scheduled in today’s Order Paper for First Reading. Thereafter, the Bills stand committed to the following Committees: 1. The Coffee Bill, (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023), and the Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill, (Senate Bill No.12 of 2023), to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock; and, 2. The Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.37 of 2023), to the Committee of Powers and Privileges. Hon. Members, with regard to the two National Assembly Bills, I direct the Clerk to circulate the Senate amendments to the two National Assembly Bills to all Members in accordance with the Standing Orders. Thereafter, the Messages and the Senate amendments to the two Bills are referred to respective Committees as follows: 1. The Food and Feed Safety Control Co-ordination Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2023), to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock; and, 2. The Public Service (Values and Principles) (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2022), to the Departmental Committee on Labour. I urge the Committees to prioritise the Bills in their agenda and report to the House as soon as practicable to enable the House to proceed with the next stages of the Bills. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you. Next Order."
