    "content": "bring together the Senate’s Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, the National Assembly’s Justice and Legal Affairs Committee and the Attorney-General’s Office to deliberate on the matter. This followed the publication on 30th April, 2015, of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2015, and the Two-Thirds Gender Rule Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2015. The publication of the said Bills and the ongoing consultative process do not, however, prevent the Senate from receiving and considering petitions on the matter as provided for at Article 119(1) of the Constitution and in our own Standing Orders. That being the case and noting that the question of the said one-third gender rule is pending before the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, I direct that the petition in terms of Standing Order No.227(1) be committed to the said Committee. In terms of Standing Order No. 227(2), the Committee will be required in not more than sixty days from the time of reading the prayer to respond to the petitioner by way of a report addressed to the petitioner and laid on the Table of Senate. I thank you."
