    "content": "Therefore, before I put the Question for adoption of the Report of the Mediation Committee on Division of Revenue Bill (No. 2) (National Assembly Bill No. 59 of 2019) and for the approval of the said Bill, I wish to confirm that the text of Clause 1 according to the correct and authenticated annexure to the Report as well as pages 7 and 8 of the HANSARD report reads as follows: “This Act may be cited as the Division of Revenue Act, 2019 and shall be deemed to have come into force on 1st July 2019.” I have no doubt, therefore, that this is the correct text as agreed by the Mediation Committee. Indeed, the accurate text of the said clause is accurately captured in the version of the Division of Revenue Bill, 2019, as published by the Clerk of the National Assembly in Notice No.1 in today’s Order Paper. Therefore, that is the copy and true impression of the version of the Bill agreed on by the Mediation Committee and proposed to the Houses of Parliament. Finally, we have a duty to protect the accuracy of our records and guarantee dependability of those employed to facilitate the work of this institution. In this regard, I call upon all officers facilitating various Committees of the House, including Mediation Committees, to always endeavour to guide Members accurately, from commencement to conclusion of all stages of Committees’ deliberations and resolutions to guarantee coordination of law-making, representation and oversight responsibilities of Hon. Members. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you, Hon. Members."
