"content": " I beg to move: THAT, the Senate amendments to the Affordable Housing Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 75 of 2023) be now considered. Let me first take this opportunity to thank both the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works for the quick consideration of the amendments from the Senate. After the Message you read yesterday, I know the Committee retreated and held their meeting yesterday evening up to very late. Indeed, they were still working on this draft Report when I spoke to the Chairman way after midnight. I must thank both Committees led by Hon. Johana Ng'eno and Hon. Kuria Kimani, respectively. The Senate effected several amendments that enriched the substance of this Bill. More so, the new Part III—Clause 31A to Clause 31F. These seek to introduce the role of county governments in affordable housing and create county committees to help advise Governors in consultation with the National Housing Board on the rollout of affordable housing in counties. Some of these are progressive amendments. I have seen the Committee agrees with them. The Committee also disagrees with the Senate on several amendments. Reading their Report, many of the Committees' reservations on the amendments done by the Senate are not fatal. The Committees observe that future statutes can cure them. 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"
