    "content": "“If, after the originating House has reconsidered a Bill referred back to it under Clause (1) ( b ), that House rejects the Bill as amended, the Bill shall be referred to a mediation committee under Article 113.” For the benefit of Senators, Article 113 provides as follows:- (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 numbers of 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 thirty days, or if a version proposed by the committee is rejected by either House, the Bill is defeated. Hon. Senators, in the circumstances, I concur with the Speaker of the National Assembly to form a mediation committee in accordance with Articles 112(2)(b) and 113 of the Constitution. In this regard, I have received communication from the National Assembly that the Speaker has appointed the following Members to represent the Assembly in the mediation committee that will attempt to develop a version of the Bill that both Houses will pass. (i) Hon. Amina Abdalla, MP; (ii) Hon. Ronald Tonui, MP; and, (iii) Hon. Mwakale William Kamoti, MP. Similarly, I am consulting the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders with a view of appointing three Senators to represent the Senate in the mediation committee. Next is a statement by Dr. Khalwale. Where is the Chairperson of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights?"
