In this regard, I wish to report to the House that on Tuesday, 25th October, 2016, I received a message regarding the decision of the Senate on the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2014). In part, the message reads:- “The Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (National Assembly Bill No.36 of 2014) was rejected at the Second Reading by the Senate on 19th October, 2016, the effect of which being that the said Bill is referred to a Mediation Committee.” The Senate has also nominated five Senators to the foresaid Mediation Committee. With that decision by the Senate, the Bill is referred to a Mediation Committee in accordance with Article 112 of the Constitution. Consequently, the leadership of the majority and the minority parties in the House are hereby directed to expeditiously nominate Members for appointment to the Mediation Committee to consider the Bill. Once constituted, the Committee will be expected to speedily embark on the process of developing a mediated version of the Bill in accordance with Article 113 of the Constitution. Thank you."
