    "content": "So, Hon. Members in terms of Standing Order No.57 (1) I, therefore, order that this Motion be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall not be moved again in the same Session. Having ruled the way I have done, I have to go back to the Constitution. Article 112(2) of the Constitution, with regard to an ordinary Bill concerning county governments. It says:- “If, after the originating House has reconsidered a Bill referred back to it under Clause (1)(b), that House— (a) passes the Bill as amended, the Speaker of that House shall refer the Bill to the President within seven days for assent; or (b) rejects the Bill as amended, the Bill shall be referred to a mediation committee under Article 113”. I, therefore, make a ruling pursuant to Article 112(2)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya, that having been deemed withdrawn, I treat that Bill as having been defeated or negatived. In other words, it is rejected in accordance to this Article and, therefore, it shall be referred to a mediation committee under Article 113. That being the case, I request the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party to forward the names of their preferred Members to the Speaker for appointment to the mediation committee for this Bill. It is ordered accordingly."
