    "content": " Hon, Members, allow me to issue this Communication. Hon. Members, this guidance relates to the just concluded business, which is the agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House on the consideration of the President’s Reservations to the Finance Bill (National Assembly Bill No.30 of 2024). As you are aware, the House has voted in agreement with the President’s Reservations and the recommendation to delete all the Clauses of the Finance Bill, 2024. Following this decision, the Bill has been rejected in its entirety. I wish to clarify that the import of the decision of the House is that the Bill is lost. Consequently, no provision that was contained in the Bill shall have legal effect. In this regard, strictly speaking, there is no Bill for the Speaker to present to His Excellency the President for assent as contemplated under Article 115(5) of the Constitution. To signify the decision that the House has taken on the Bill this afternoon, I shall, therefore, only convey the effect of the decision, which is, that the Finance Bill (National Assembly Bill No.30 of 2024) has been rejected. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you."
