    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will read the statement briefly because I believe we need to be brief. Regarding the status of Bills, I want to summarise as follows: (1) From the National Assembly to the Senate, we have had 44 Bills so far from April 2013 until 9th of November. Out of those 44 Bills, the Senate has concluded 33 of them. Five others are at the committee stage. Another four are at Second Reading awaiting division and three others are waiting Second Reading. (2) Out of the 44 Bills that have been submitted to this House from the National Assembly, all of them without exception have been considered. About 75 per cent of them, that is 33 out of 44 have been completed and they have been sent to the President for Assent. Many of them have been assented while others are awaiting Presidential Assent. So, the Senate has discharged its role in that respect. (3) With regard to Bills that have come from the Senate to the National Assembly since April 2013, the Senate has sent a total of 38 Bills. Out of which, 10 have been processed to completion either at the first instance or after a mediated version has been agreed. (4) One Bill has been negated and it is pending negotiation. This is the Fundraising Appeals Bill (The Anyang’-Nyong’o Bill). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
