    "content": "Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.41, I wish to report to the House that I have received Messages from the Senate regarding its decision on the following Bills: (1) The Local Content Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2018). (2) The Mental Health (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.32 of 2018) The first Message relates to the passage of the Local Content Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2018), which seeks to “provide for a framework to facilitate the local ownership, control and financing of activities connected with exploitation of gas, oil and petroleum mineral resources to increase the local value capture along the value chain in the exploration of gas, oil and other petroleum mineral sources”. The second Message is in respect to the passage of the Mental Health (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.32 of 2018), which is seeking to amend the Mental Health Act to realign the membership of the Kenya Mental Health Board to impose an obligation on each level of government and to address the issue of accessibility to mental health services including care, treatment and rehabilitation of persons with mental illness. The Messages read in part: “That the Senate considered them and passed the said Bills with amendments on Wednesday, 24th July 2019 and now seeks the concurrence of the National Assembly.” Standing Order No.143 (1) (a) requires the Speaker to cause a Bill received from the Senate to be read a First Time upon conveyance of a message from the Senate. Accordingly, I direct that the Bills be read for the First Time during the next sitting of this House. Standing Order No.143 (2) further provides: “Following First Reading, the Speaker shall, within reasonable time, pronounce his or her opinion contemplated under Article 114 (2) of the Constitution.” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
