Members, Standing Order No. 41 relating to Messages requires that the Speaker does expeditiously report to the House any messages received from the Senate. In this regard, Hon. Members, I wish to report that on Thursday, 31st March, 2016, in accordance with the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution, I received a message from the Senate regarding the passage of the Water Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 7 of 2014). Hon. Members, the Message states:- “The Water Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 7 of 2014), which was published in the Kenya Gazette Supplement No. 27 of 17th March, 2014 as a Bill originating from the National Assembly, was passed with amendments by the Senate on Tuesday, 22nd March 2016. The Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly on the said Bill.” Hon. Members, the Senate has amended 22 clauses of the 155 clauses of the said Bill. I am aware that the Clerk has since circulated the amendments to Members in accordance with the requirements of Standing Order No. 145, including submitting them to the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources during the recess period. The Committee is expected to submit its report on the amendments to the House expeditiously. I wish to remind the House that the National Assembly will only consider the amendments made by the Senate and not any other parts of the Bill. Hon. Members, I also wish to report that I have received three other messages from the Senate regarding the passage of the following Bills:- (i) The Office of the County Printer Bill (Senate Bill No. 42 of 2014). (ii) The Kenya National Examinations Council (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 7 of 2015). (iii) The Office of the County Attorney Bill (Senate Bill No. 37 of 2014). Hon. Members, these Bills were passed by the Senate on 22nd March, 2016 with amendments. The Senate now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly to the said Bills in accordance to the provisions of Article 110 of the Constitution. I am also aware that the Clerk has also circulated copies of the three Bills after being read a first time. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 143, the Bills will stand committed to the following Departmental Committees for consideration:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
