    "content": "Hon. Members, Standing Order No. 41(5) relating to messages from the Senate provides as follows:- “41(5) If a message is received from the Senate, at a time when the House is not in session, the Speaker shall forthwith cause the message to be transmitted to every Member and shall report the message to the House on the day the House next sits.” In this regard, I wish to report that I received a message from the Senate on 21st May, 2014, conveying the decision of the Senate on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2014, which we referred to the Senate after its passage by this House just before proceeding for the May recess. The message states:- “The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.15 of 2014), which was published in the Kenya Gazette Supplement No.36 of 26th March, 2014, as a Bill originating in the National Assembly and passed by the National Assembly on 23rd April 2014, was passed by the Senate with amendments on Thursday, 15th May, 2014.” Hon. Members, the Message continues that the Senate seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly to the amendments made by the Senate to the said Bill. I am aware that the Clerk has since circulated these amendments to all Members and the relevant Committee, in accordance with Standing Order No.145. As a matter of procedure, I wish to guide the House that what will be considered by the National Assembly is not the entire Bill, but the Senate’s amendments on the Bill, which I am guided that are on Clause 4 of the Schedule. So that this process is done in a neat manner, I now formally refer the said amendments to the Budget and Appropriations Committee of this House. Due to urgency of the passage of the Bill, the Committee is expected to submit a Report to the House on or before 10th June, 2014 – which is Tuesday next week. I will guide you further on the procedure to be followed during the debate and actual consideration of the said amendments in the House. Thank you."
