    "content": "the County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bill No.26 of 2018), the Public Participation Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2018), the Petition to County Assemblies (Procedure) Bill (Senate Bill No.22 of 2018), and the Treaty Making and Ratification (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.23 of 2018). Hon. Members, following the First Reading of the four Bills on 11th June 2019, I undertook to pronounce my opinion with respect to money Bill; effects of the Bills pursuant to Standing Order 143(2), which provides: “Following First Reading, the Speaker shall, within reasonable time, pronounce his or her opinion contemplated under Article 114(2) of the Constitution.” Therefore, I have made the following determination on the said Senate Bills: (i) The County Early Childhood Education Bill (Senate Bill No.26 of 2018) and the Petition to County Assemblies (Procedure) Bill (Senate Bill No.22 of 2018) do not fall within the meaning of a “money Bill” as contemplated in the Constitution. As such, they may proceed for Second Reading in the same manner as a Bill originating in the National Assembly as provided for under Standing Order 143(3). These Bills, therefore, stand referred to the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs respectively for consideration. (ii) The Public Participation Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2018) and the Treaty Making and Ratification (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.23 of 2018) are “money Bills” within the meaning of Article 114 of the Constitution. They, therefore, stand referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for consideration and advice on the manner in which the House ought to proceed, pursuant to the provisions of Articles 109(5) and 114 of the Constitution, as read together with Standing Order 143. Hon. Members, the House is thus accordingly guided. Thank you. Next Order!"
