    "content": "(ii) that if the proposed amendments fully accommodate the President’s reservations, it will require a simple majority for its passage. Hon. Members, in this regard, you are aware that the Presidential Memorandum to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 33 of 2015) has attracted amendments from the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and from Hon. Chrisanthus Wamalwa, MP. Hon. Members, I made the following determinations regarding the proposed amendments to the presidential reservations to Clauses 4 and 6. They are as follows: (iii) the proposed amendments by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs relating to Clause 4 have the effect of fully accommodating the presidential reservations relating to that clause and, therefore, will require a simple majority of Members for passage. (iv) the proposed amendments by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and those proposed by Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa, MP, to the presidential reservations to Clause 6 have the effect of negating the presidential reservations on the said clause and, therefore, will require two-thirds majority of Members for passage. My determinations on those two clauses have been summarised in the Order Paper on Pages 740 and 741. Hon. Members, it is also important to remind you that the absence of at least two-thirds majority at the time of putting the Question does not, in any way, imply that the House is improperly constituted. The Committee of the Whole House will, therefore, proceed as guided. I thank you."
