    "content": "Much obliged hon. Deputy Speaker. My committee did meet and on 10th June, 2014, we tabled a Report rejecting the proposed amendments to the Division of Revenue Bill, by the Senate. It was this situation, which, the National Assembly having adopted our Report, led eventually to the establishment of the Mediation Committee. It is important that this House is reminded of the provisions in our Constitution. The law says that if one House passes an ordinary Bill concerning counties and the second House rejects the Bill, that Bill shall be referred to a Mediation Committee appointed under Article 113. (1) 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 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. (3) If both Houses approve the version of the Bill proposed by the Mediation Committee, the Speaker of the National Assembly shall refer the Bill to the President within seven days for assent. (4) If the Mediation Committee fails to agree on a version of the Bill, within 30 days or if a version of the proposed Bill by the Committee is rejected by either . House, then the Bill is defeated. You will agree with me that the consequences of rejecting such a proposal would be ill-advised and altogether calamitous. Let me then come to the substance of the discussions and of our recommendations. The Mediation Committee was informed that Kshs.226.666 billion was a product of several negotiations and compromises by stakeholders; this House in its wisdom did approve that amount. The Mediation Committee heard that the Senate had The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
