    "content": "Order! Are those the Members for Malava and Sirisia? Keep your silence. The first and second Messages convey that, on Thursday, 25th April 2024, the Senate considered and passed the County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bill No.6 of 2023) and the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2022). The Sugar Bill was passed with amendments. The third and fourth Messages convey that on Thursday, 2nd May 2024, the Senate considered and passed the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.14 of 2024) with amendments; and the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.25 of 2023) without amendments. The County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bill No.6 of 2023) seeks to give effect to Article 188 of the Constitution by providing for a procedure for alteration of county boundaries. It also proposes to provide for a mechanism for resolution of disputes relating to county boundaries as well as the establishment of an independent county boundaries commission. On the other hand, the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.25 of 2023) seeks to amend the County Governments Act, Cap.265 to raise the statutory thresholds for removal of a member of a County Executive Committee. In conveying the Message regarding the passage of this particular Bill, the Rt. Hon. Speaker of the Senate has notified that the sponsor, Sen. Samson Cherargey, MP; has nominated the Member for Marakwet West, Hon. Timothy Kipchumba Toroitich, MP, to co-sponsor the Bill in this House. In this regard, Hon. Toroitich will henceforth be responsible for marshalling its consideration in the National Assembly. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
