    "content": "Hon. Members, I wish to remind the House that the National Assembly passed this Bill on 24th of April 2014 after a thorough debate. Thereafter, the Bill was forwarded to the Senate for consideration as it is a Bill concerning county governments. The Senate has since made amendments to the Bill which is now awaiting the concurrence of the National Assembly. The manner of disposing those amendments is provided for in our Standing Order Nos.145 to 148. In summary, the House would generally debate the Senate amendments. Mark you, hon. Members, not the Bill, only the Senate amendments for a limited period not exceeding one hour. Should the House resolve to consider those amendments, the House will dissolve into the Committee of the whole House to dispose of the amendments sequentially. Should that Motion be negatived, the provisions of Article 112 of the Constitution related to the Mediation Committee will come into effect. Similarly, should the Committee of the whole House amend or reject any of the Senate amendments - and this is important - the mediation process again takes effect. Please, also be guided that in the Committee of the whole House, the Chairperson will proceed to propose each of the Senate amendments without having to ask for a Mover. It is important that we understand that process. Finally, should the House pass the Senate amendments as proposed, I will then proceed to forward the Bill to the President for assent in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution."
