    "content": "requirement of concurrence of the other House for particular Bills. In case that concurrence is not obtained we have provided for a Mediation Committee which, whenever the Assembly does not agree to all or any of the amendments made by the Senate to a Bill concerning county governments which originate from the National Assembly, and the Senate has insisted on such amendments or fails to agree to a Motion or a Bill that originates from the Senate, then a Mediation Committee appointed by both Houses will be able to deal with that matter. If within 30 days they have not done so, then the Bill will be deemed to have been negatived. Finally, there is the issue of the Committee system. Members need to know that the National Assembly will be the larger assembly and the following Committees have been proposed for the National Assembly: House Business Committee, Committee on Selection, Committee on Appointments, Public Accounts Committee, Public Investments Committee, Budget and Appropriation Committee, Procedures and House Rules Committee, Committee on Implementation, Committee on Delegated Legislation, Committee on Regional Integration, Liaison Committee and the Departmental Committees aligned to the Ministries. The following Committees have also been proposed for the Senate:- 1. Rules and Business Committee; 2. Committee on Devolved Government; 3. Committee on Implementation; 4. Committee on Delegated Legislation; and, 5. Standing Committee aligned to the line Ministries. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Orders propose three joint committees:- (i) Joint Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity (ii) Joint Committee on Intelligence (iii) Joint Committee on Library and Broadcasting. Of course, there will be the right to petition Parliament as per public participation, financial procedures. The Standing Orders have made provisions for amending the same Standing Orders for a period review of the same. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by thanking the Members of the Committee under your Chairmanship and particularly Members of the Panel. We have been able to work by consensus in most of these proposals. These proposals are being brought to the House for the sake of doing our duty, but for the purposes of the Senate they are at liberty now as they start. We want to give them a working document so that they do not operate in a vacuum. They will be at liberty to amend or propose and that is why we have put the provisions for doing the same. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the role of Standing Orders in the way we conduct business is so significant. You have always reminded us that Parliament is not a market place nor is it a public baraza, but an institution that is dignified and the way we conduct our business must be such that we will get the admiration of Kenyans across the divide. The majority will have their way, but the minority will have their say. With those many words, it is my pleasure to move this Motion and ask my senior in the Panel, Mr. Imanyara, to second."
