    "content": "Hon. Members, we are now properly constituted. I have a message to convey. Standing Order No.41(4) relating to messages from the Senate provides that if a Message is received from the Senate at a time when the House is in session, the Speaker shall report the Message to the House at the first convenient opportunity after its receipt, and in any event not later than the next sitting day. In this regard, I wish to report that I have received two messages from the Senate today dated 13th April, 2015. Hon. Members, the messages state:- “THAT the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill National Assembly Bill No.29 of 2014 and the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Amendment ) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2014 as published in the Kenya Gazette Supplement No.112 and 114 of 25th July, 2014 respectively and passed with amendments by the National Assembly on 26th November, 2014 and 4th December, 2014 respectively, were passed by the Senate on Wednesday, 1st April, 2015 with amendments and in the form attached thereto. Consequently, the Senate seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly to the said amendments” Hon. Members, in this regard and due to the urgency of the two Bills on account of their constitutional timelines, I direct that the House Business Committee prioritises this business for consideration at the earliest opportunity. I also urge the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to scrutinise the amendments made to the respective Bills so as to guide the House at the appropriate time. Hon. Members, I now direct the Clerk to circulate the Senate amendments to the two Bills, pursuant to the Standing Order No.145. I will guide you further on the procedure to be followed during the debate when the House Business Committee slots these two Bills for consideration. I thank you.
