    "content": "Hon. Members, the Second Message conveys that on Thursday, 3rd October 2024, the Senate considered and passed the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 38 of 2023) with amendments. You will also recall that on 7th August 2024, this House considered and passed the Bill with amendments, following which I referred the Bill to the Senate for consideration in accordance with the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution. The Senate has now referred the Bill back to the National Assembly for reconsideration. With respect to the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2024, I direct the Clerk to circulate the Senate amendments to the Bill to all Members. Thereafter, the amendments will stand referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I urge the Committee to expedite consideration of the Senate’s amendments and report back to the House on Tuesday, 15th October 2024. Conscious that the House is scheduled to proceed on a short recess next week, I direct that the matter be prioritized for consideration on the same day. I hasten to remind Members that the conclusion of the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill, 2024 will pave way for reconsideration of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2024, which was referred back to the Senate under Article 115 of the Constitution by H.E. the President following rejection of the Finance Bill, 2024. This will facilitate disbursement of the requisite funds to our county governments and avoid further stalling of operations of the devolved units. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you."
