    "content": "As you may recall, on 27thNovember 2018, I conveyed to the House a Message from the Senate regarding the Food Security Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2017), the County Statistics Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2018) and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2018). Just as a reminder, the Food Security Bill seeks to give effect to Articles 21, 43 (1)(c) and 53 (1)(c) of the Constitution on the freedom from hunger, the right to adequate food of acceptable quality, the right of every child to basic nutrition, and to provide a framework and mechanism for the national and county governments to fulfil their obligations in relation to food security. Further, the County Statistics Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2018) seeks to provide a framework for the collection, compilation, analysis and dissemination of statistical information and to establish a county statistics office, while the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2018) seeks to amend the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act to provide for notification of the expiry of terms of Commissioners and to provide for the timelines for the filling of vacancies in the Commission upon expiry of their terms. Following the First Reading of the three Bills on 28th November 2018, I forwarded the Bills to the technical offices pursuant to Standing Order No.143(2) which provides that - “Following First Reading, the Speaker shall, within reasonable time, pronounce his or her opinion contemplated under Article 114(2) of the Constitution.” Now, therefore, having received a brief on the matter from the relevant offices of Parliament, I have made the following determination on the three Senate Bills: (1) The County Statistics Bill (Senate Bill No.9 of 2018) and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2018) do not fall within the meaning of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
