    "content": "Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 41(4), I wish to report to the House that I have received two Messages from the Senate regarding its decision on two Bills, namely; the Equalization Fund Appropriation (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.30 of 2023) and the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.38 of 2024). The First Message conveys that on Tuesday, 17th September 2024, the Senate considered and rejected the National Assembly’s amendments to the Equalization Fund Appropriation (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.30 of 2023). You will recall that this House considered and passed the Bill with amendments on 13th June 2024. Thereafter, I referred the Bill back to the Senate for reconsideration in accordance with the provisions of Article 112(1)(b) of the Constitution. The decision of the Senate on the National Assembly’s amendments to the Equalization Fund Appropriation (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.30 of 2023) effectively commits the Bill to a Mediation Committee, pursuant to the provisions of Article 112(2)(b) of the Constitution. Consequently, the Speaker of the Senate has appointed the following Senators to the Mediation Committee on the Bill: 1. Sen. Joe Nyutu, MP; 2. Sen. Mohamed Abass Sheikh, MP; 3. Sen. (Prof.) Margaret J. Kamar, EGH, MP; 4. Sen. Tabitha M. Mutinda, MP; 5. Sen. Daniel Maanzo, MP; 6. Sen. Beatrice Ogola, MP; and, 7. Sen. Faki Mohamed Mwinyihaji, MP. In order to fully constitute the Mediation Committee on the Bill, the National Assembly is required to appoint seven Members to sit in the Committee. I therefore call upon the Majority and Minority Leadership of the House to nominate Members to represent the National Assembly in the Mediation Committee by 7.00 p.m. today, Tuesday, 8th October 2024.
