    "content": "The Committee met a total of four times. We held four sittings to deliberate on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill that was rejected by the National Assembly. We considered this Bill in accordance with the Constitution and also the relevant provisions of the Standing Orders of the National Assembly and the Senate. During our first meeting, we conducted elections in which we elected the Chair and Vice-Chair. The Chairman was Sen. Wako and I was elected the Vice-Chair to represent the National Assembly. As the pioneering Mediation Committee, we recommended to the Members of the Senate and it was agreed that if a matter arises from the Senate and it is rejected by the National Assembly, then the Chair of that Committee would ordinarily fall within the Senate. If a matter has originated from the National Assembly and it is rejected at the Senate, the Chairperson should ordinarily be a Member of Parliament from the National Assembly. This may be good guidance with regard to the Division of Revenue Bill that was rejected by the Senate. In the spirit of this agreement by senior members from the Senate, the Chairperson should originate ordinarily from the National Assembly."
