Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.41, I wish to report to the House that I am in receipt of a Message from the Senate conveying the decision of the Senate on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017). You will recall that the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017) was passed by the National Assembly with amendments on Wednesday, 6th March 2019. The Message from the Senate reads in part: “…on Tuesday, 18th June 2019, the Senate considered and rejected a Motion to consider the National Assembly’s amendments to the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017).” The import of the Senate’s decision is that the Bill will now stand referred to the mediation process as contemplated under Article 112 of the Constitution. Consequently, the leadership of the Majority and Minority parties in the House are hereby directed to expeditiously nominate three and two Members, respectively, for appointment to the mediation committee to consider the Bill. Once constituted, the Committee will be expected to speedily embark on the process of attempting to develop a mediated version of the Bill in accordance with the provisions of Article 113 of the Constitution."
