    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.51(1) (a) of the Standing Orders of the Senate, to make a Statement concerning the status of the consideration of the Division of Revenue Bill, 2019. The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 11 of 2019) was published on 6th March, 2019. The Bill was passed by the National Assembly without amendments on 26th March, 2019 and transmitted to the Senate. The Senate passed the Bill with amendments on 30th April, 2019. However, the National Assembly rejected the amendments proposed by the Senate and the Bill was referred to a Mediation Committee pursuant to Article 112(2) (b) of the Constitution. Pursuant to Article 113(1) of the Constitution and Standing Order No. 149 (2) of National Assembly Standing Orders and Standing Order No. 160 (2) of the Senate Standing Orders, the Speakers of both Houses appointed a Mediation Committee to attempt to develop a version of the Bill that both Houses would pass. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, the Mediation Committee held its first meeting on 23rd May, 2019 and two other subsequent meetings. The Mediation Committee however was unable to agree on a version of the Bill within the thirty days as contemplated under Article 113(4) of the Constitution and the Bill was defeated. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
