(Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the letter is dated Thursday 30th October 2014, which is the same day that the House required me to advise the President not to assent to the Bill. It is addressed to the President and the Commander in Chief of the Defence forces of the Republic of Kenya at State House, Nairobi, Ref: Mining Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 9 of 2014. It says:- “I am required by the Senate to request you to consider not assenting to the Mining Bill, National Assembly Bill No.9 of 2014 passed by the National Assembly on 29th October, 2014. The Bill in question relates to the regulation of the mining industry, including benefits sharing between the National Government and local communities, pursuant to Article 69(1)(d) as read together with Article 66(2) of the Constitution. By all definition, this Bill is a Bill concerning counties and the National Assembly cannot unilaterally enact it without the input of the Senate as envisaged under Article 110(3) of the Constitution. Thank you”"
