Members, as you may recall, on 23rd April 2019 and 1st August 2019, I conveyed to the House Messages from the Senate regarding the passage of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.13 of 2018) and the National Cohesion and Peace Building Bill (Senate Bill No.35 of 2018). Following the First Reading of the said Bills, I undertook to pronounce my opinion with respect to the Money Bill effects of the said Bills pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.143 (2), which provides as follows: “Following First Reading, the Speaker shall, within reasonable time, pronounce his or her opinion contemplated under Article 114(2) of the Constitution.” I have made a determination that the two Bills do not fall within the meaning of “Money Bills” and, therefore, they may proceed for Second Reading in the same manner as a Bill originating in the National Assembly as provided for under Standing Order No.143 (3). The County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.13 of 2018) shall stand referred to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for consideration, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.127(1) (a) which states that a Bill having been read a First Time, shall stand committed to the relevant Departmental Committee without question put. On the other hand, Standing Order 127(6) (a) provides that - “127(6) (a) Despite paragraph (1), the Speaker may direct that a particular Bill be committed to such committee as the Speaker may determine.”"
