    "content": "The third Message conveys that on Tuesday 15th April 2025, the Senate considered and passed the Land (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.40 of 2022) with amendments. In this regard, the Senate now seeks the National Assembly’s reconsideration of the Bill in accordance with the provisions of Article 112 of the Constitution. Having passed the said Bills, the Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly, pursuant to the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution. With regards to the Senate Bills, you will note that the Standing Orders require the Speaker to cause a Bill received from the Senate to be read a First Time upon conveyance of its Message to the House. In view of this, I hereby direct the Clerk to schedule the two Senate Bills in the Order Paper for First Reading at the next sitting. Thereafter, the Energy (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.42 of 2023) shall stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Energy, and the County Public Finance Laws (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.39 of 2023) to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for consideration. With respect to the Land (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.40 of 2022), the Message and the Schedule of Senate amendments to the Bill are hereby referred to the Departmental Committee on Lands for consideration and reporting. I also direct the Clerk to circulate the Schedule of Senate amendments to the Bill to all Members. The Committees to which the Bills have been referred are encouraged to prioritise their consideration and submit their reports as soon as is practicable to enable the House to proceed with the necessary next steps on the Bills. I encourage them to work through the recess period, so that they would have gone through the Bills by the time we resume."
