    "content": "Hon. Members, as you may recall, on 25th June 2019, I conveyed to the House a Message from the Senate regarding the passage of the Impeachment Procedure Bill (Senate Bill No. 15 of 2018); the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill (Senate Bill No. 17 of 2018); the Prevention of Terrorism (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No. 20 of 2018); the Preservation of Human Dignity and Enforcement of Economic and Social Rights Bill (Senate Bill No. 27 of 2018), and the Tea Bill (Senate Bill No. 36 of 2018). Hon. Members, following First Reading of the five Bills on 26th June 2019, I did undertake to pronounce my opinion with regard to the 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.” Now, therefore, I have made the following determination on the said Senate Bills: (i) The Impeachment Procedure Bill (Senate Bill No. 15 of 2018); the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill (Senate Bill No. 17 of 2018); the Preservation of Human Dignity and Enforcement of Economic and Social Rights Bill (Senate Bill No. 27 of 2018); and, the Tea Bill (Senate Bill No. 36 0f 2018), do not fall within the meaning of a “Money Bill”. 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). Consequently, the Impeachment Procedure Bill (Senate Bill No. 15 of 2018) and the Preservation of Human Dignity and Enforcement of Economic and Social Rights Bill stand referred to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs; the Care and Protection of Older Members of Society Bill (Senate Bill No. 17 of 2018) stands referred to the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare; and the Tea Bill (Senate Bill No. 36 of 2018) stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock for consideration.
