    "content": "Bill considered by both Houses to a joint committee, seems to offend the provisions of Article 115 of the Constitution. While the provision of Standing Order No.155 foresees the adoption of a report of a joint committee of the two Houses, the Constitution requires that any amendment to a Presidential recommendation, or a total rejection of the recommendations, should be supported by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Members of the National Assembly and two-thirds of the delegations in the Senate. With this in mind, this may be said to be one of the instances where we cannot use the Standing Orders in considering the matters at hand. Hon. Members, in view of the foregoing, I will issue a comprehensive guidance on how to proceed with the above matters on Tuesday, 16th June 2015. In the meantime, the memoranda stand committed to the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for consideration. Thank you."
