    "content": "Hon. Members, the following Senators have been appointed to the said Committee: 1. Sen. John Methu Muhia, MP; 2. Sen. (Dr) Steve Ltumbesi Lelegwe, CBS, MP; 3. Sen. Wahome Wamatinga, MP; 4. Sen. Mariam Sheikh Omar, MP; 5. Sen. Johnes Mwashushe Mwaruma, MP; 6. Sen. Agnes Kavindu Muthama, SC, MP; and, 7. Sen. Beatrice Akinyi Ogola, MP. Hon. Members, you will recall that on Tuesday, 30th April 2024, the House rejected the Senate amendments to the Water (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.33 of 2023). This effectively committed the Bill to a Mediation Committee pursuant to Article 112(12(b) of the Constitution. Subsequently, I appointed seven Members to the Committee to represent the National Assembly vide a Communication issued on 6th May 2024. Following the appointment of Senators, the Mediation Committee is now fully constituted as contemplated under Article 113 of the Constitution. I, therefore, call upon the Committee to expeditiously consider the respective Bill and submit a version of the Bill for consideration by the Houses of Parliament. In considering the Bill, I hasten to remind the Committee to be alive to the timelines provided for under Article 113(4) of the Constitution, to ensure the bicameral process is concluded. Thank you."
