Members, I have a Message from the National Assembly on the Fiscal Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2015). I wish to report to the Senate that Pursuant to Standing Order No.40(3) and (4), I have received the following Message from the Speaker of the National Assembly regarding the passage by the Assembly of the Physical Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2015). Pursuant to Article 110(4) of the Constitution and the provisions of Standing Orders 142 of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I hereby convey the following Message from the National Assembly; “Whereas the Physical Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2015), a Bill concerning county governments was published by the Kenya Gazette supplement No.130 of 11th August, 2015, as a Bill concerning county governments in terms of Article 109(4) of the Constitution and; whereas the said Bill whose objective is to give effect to Article 66 of the Constitution was considered and passed by the National Assembly on 16th December, 2015 with amendments. Now therefore, the National Assembly seeks concurrence of the Senate on the said Bill.” Hon. Senators, Article 110(3) of the Constitution provides as follows; “Before either House considers a Bill, the Speakers of the National Assembly and Senate shall jointly resolve any question as to whether it is a Bill concerning counties and, if it is, whether it is a special or an ordinary Bill.” Hon. Senators, I also wish to report to you that concurrence of the Senate as contemplated in Article 110(3) of the Constitution was not sought by the Speaker of the National Assembly in respect to the Physical Planning Bill (National Assembly Bill No.46 of 2015). However, in his Message, the Speaker of the National Assembly has indicated that the Physical Planning Bill as passed by the National Assembly, now affects county governments in terms of Article 110 of the Constitution. Be it as may, and pursuant to Standing Order No.148 which requires that a Bill that originates from the National Assembly be proceeded with by the Senate in the same manner as a Bill introduced in the Senate by way of First Reading in accordance with Standing Orders No.129. I, therefore, direct that the Bill be listed for First Reading in the Order Paper of tomorrow, Wednesday 17th February, 2016. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
