    "content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that yesterday the 18th of June, 2014, the House adopted the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014 and consequently rejected the amendments of the Senate to the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014. As you all know, Article 112 (2) (b) requires that if after the National Assembly, being the originating House, reconsiders a Bill referred to it by the Senate and rejects the Bill as amended by the Senate, the Bill shall be referred to a mediation Committee appointed under the provisions of Article 113 of the Constitution. Hon. Members, the resolution of the House yesterday adopted the report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and rejected the Senate amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014. This implies that the Speakers, or the two Houses, must now form a Mediation Committee in a manner contemplated by Article 112 of the Constitution and our own Standing Order 149. In this regard, having consulted the Leaders of the Majority and Minority Parties, and in accordance with Article 113 (1) of the Constitution, I have appointed the following hon. Members to be members of the Mediation Committee on the Bill on the part of the National Assembly:- 1. The hon. Mutava Musyimi, MP – Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee 2. The hon. Mary Emaase, MP – Vice-Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee and; 3. The hon. John Mbadi Ngong’o, MP – Member of Budget and Appropriations Committee."
