    "content": "The last Message is on the passage of the Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bill No.1 of 2018). The Message states in part: “The Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bill No. 1 of 2018) was published to provide for the procedure and ceremony for the assumption of the Office of Governor by the Governor-elect.” Standing Order No. 143(1) requires the Speaker to cause a Bill received from the Senate to be read a First Time, upon conveyance of a Message from the Senate referring Bills to the National Assembly. Accordingly, I direct that the three Bills be read a First Time at the next Sitting. Paragraph (2) of Standing Order 143 provides that: Following First Reading, the Speaker shall, within reasonable time, pronounce his or her opinion contemplated under Article 114 (2) of the Constitution. The opinion envisioned under Standing Order No. 143(2) is a pronouncement by the Speaker as to whether a Bill originating in the Senate is a ‘Money Bill’ in terms of Article 114 of the Constitution. In this regard, I have examined the three Bills, in addition to the Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 4 of 2017), which was read a First Time on 19th April 2018, and determined that they are not Money Bills. The House shall, therefore, proceed with the consideration of the said Bills from the Senate in accordance with Standing Order No. 143(3)."
