    "content": "I, therefore, found it necessary and urgent to bring this matter to the attention of His Excellency the President which I did by a letter to the President dated 7th June, 2013. In the letter, I informed the President that the action taken by the National Assembly does not accord with Article 112 of the Constitution and part 19, Roman, of the Senate Standing Orders as well as Part XIX of the National Assembly’s own Standing Orders which provide for the manner in which a Bill which originates in one House is to be dealt with by the other House, and how the originating House is to deal with the Bill once it is returned by the other House. But a reading of these provisions indicates that where the other House – in this case the Senate – passes the Bill in an amended form, the originating House has the following two options. (a) To pass the Bill as amended following which the Speaker of that House shall refer the Bill to the President within seven days for assent. That is if the National Assembly accepted our Bill as we sent it to them; that is the only way they can send it to the President for assent. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
