    "content": "Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 41(1), I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from the Senate regarding its decision on the National Assembly’s amendments to the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023). The Message conveys that on Tuesday, 20th May 2025, the Senate considered and rejected the National Assembly’s amendments to the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023). You will recall that the House considered and passed the said Bill with amendments on Wednesday, 27th November 2024. I, thereafter, referred the Bill to the Senate for reconsideration in accordance with the provisions of Article 112(1)(b) of the Constitution. The rejection of the National Assembly’s amendments to the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023) by the Senate, effectively commits the Bill to a Mediation Committee pursuant to the provisions of Article 112(2)(b) of the Constitution. In this regard, the Speaker of the Senate has appointed the following Senators to the Mediation Committee on the Bill— 1. Sen. James Kamau Murango. 2. Sen. David Wafula Wakoli. 3. Sen. Esther Anyieni Okenyuri. 4. Sen. Joseph Kamau Githuku. 5. Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Jepkoech Kamar. 6. Sen. Catherine Mumma. 7. Sen. Moses Kajwang, CBS. 8. Sen. Daniel Maanzo, EBS. 9. Sen. Crystal Asige. For the Mediation Committee to be fully constituted, the National Assembly is required to appoint nine Members to sit on the Committee. I, therefore, call upon the leadership of the Majority and Minority parties in the House to expeditiously nominate Members to represent the National Assembly in the committee. The House is accordingly, guided. Thank you. Hon. Members, allow me also to acknowledge the presence of schools seated in the Public Gallery. They are: Mutuma Secondary School, Gatundu North, Kiambu County; St. Teresa Moi Equator, Kieni Constituency, Nyeri County, and Butere Boys High School, Butere The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
