    "content": "Hon. Members, Pursuant to Standing Order 41(1), I wish to report to the House that on 6th November 2024, I received three (3) Messages from the Senate regarding the passage of one National Assembly Bill and two Senate Bills. The first Message states that on 8th October 2024, the Senate considered and passed the Gambling Control Bill (National Assembly Bill No.70 of 2023), with amendments. You will recall that the National Assembly considered and passed the said Bill with amendments on 6th December 2023, following which I referred it to the Senate for consideration. The Second and Third Messages convey that on 8th October 2024, the Senate considered and passed the Tea (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2023) and the Maternal, New-born and Child Health Bill (Senate Bill No.17 of 2023) with amendments. The Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly on the two Bills. With regard to the Gambling Control Bill (National Assembly Bill No.70 of 2023), the House is now required to consider the Senate amendments to the Bill in line with the Bicameral architecture of our legislative process on Bills concerning county governments. I hereby direct the Clerk to circulate the Senate amendments to the Bill to all Members as required by the Standing Orders. In the meantime, the Message from the Senate, together with the schedule of Senate amendments, stand referred to the Departmental Committee on Sports and Culture for consideration. In order for the House to commence consideration of the Tea (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2023) and the Maternal, New-born and Child Health Bill (Senate Bill No.17 of 2023), I further direct the Clerk to schedule the two Senate Bills for First Reading at the next Sitting. Thereafter, the Tea (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2023) will stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock while the Maternal, New-born and Child Health Bill (Senate Bill No.17 of 2023) will stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Health for consideration. With regard to the Tea (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2023), the Speaker of the Senate notified that, pursuant to Standing Order 162(2) of the Senate Standing Orders, Sen. Wakili Hillary Sigei, sponsor of the said Bill, has designated the Member for Konoin, Hon. Brighton Yegon to be co-sponsor of the Bill in the National Assembly. In this regard, Hon. Yegon will be responsible for marshalling consideration of the Bill in the National Assembly. I urge the respective committees to which the three Bills have been referred to, to prioritise their consideration and report to the House as soon as practicable to enable the House to proceed with the next stages of the Bills.
