Senators, now this one has to do with the approval of the Land Laws (amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.55 of 2015). Hon. Senators, pursuant to the relevant Standing Orders, I have received the following Message from the National Assembly. Pursuant to the provisions of standing order Nos. 41(1) and 142 of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I hereby convey the following Message from the National Assembly- “Whereas, the Land Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 55 of 2015) was published vide the Kenya Gazette Supplement No.140 of 18th August 2015, as a Bill concerning county governments, seeking to give effect to the provisions of Article Nos. 66, 67 and 68 of the Constitution by inter alia, amending and consolidating various laws on land use and management; eliminating the existing overlap in the respective mandates of the National Land Commission and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and establishing the Board of Trustees to manage the Settlement Scheme Fund; And whereas, the National Assembly considered and passed the said Bill on Thursday, 5th May, 2016 with amendments in the form attached hereto; Now therefore, in accordance with the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution and Standing Order No. 142 of the National Assembly Standing Orders, I hereby forward the said Bill to the Senate for consideration\". Hon. Senators, Standing Order No.148 requires that a Bill which originates in 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 Order No.129. I, therefore, direct that the Bill be listed for First Reading in the Order Paper of Thursday, 2nd June, 2016. I also wish to bring to your attention that this is one of the Bills required to be enacted within five years of the enactment of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. This timeline lapsed on 27th August, 2015, but the National Assembly, by resolution, extended the timeline by one year. I thank you."
