Senators, I have a communication to make on a message from the National Assembly on the approval of the mediated version by the Assembly of the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, Senate Bill No.4 of 2013. Hon. Senators, I am pleased to report to the Senate that pursuant to Standing Order No.40 Paragraphs 3 and 4, I have received the following message from the Speaker of the National Assembly regarding the approval of the mediated version by the said Assembly of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill No.2, Bill, and Senate Bill No.4 of 2013. I wish to quote. “That, the National Assembly, having considered the version of the County Governments (Amendment) No.2 Bill, Senate Bill No.4 of 2013 as developed by the Mediation Committee appointed pursuant to Article 113(1) has now approved the said version of the Bill.” Hon. Senators, for the benefit of the House, I would like to reiterate the provisions of Article 113(1) of the Constitution, which are as follows: “If a Bill is referred to a mediation committee under Article 112, the Speakers of both Houses shall appoint a mediation committee consisting of equal numbers of members of each House to attempt to develop a version of the Bill that both Houses will pass. (2) If the mediation committee agrees on a version of the Bill, each House shall vote to approve or reject that version of the Bill. 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."
