Members, you will recall that on 13th February 2020, I did convey a Message from His Excellency the President that, in exercise of the powers conferred under Article 155(1)(b) of the Constitution he had, by way of a Memorandum dated 3rd January 2020, referred the Law of Contract (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 1 of 2019) back to the National Assembly for consideration. The Bill is sponsored by the Member for Juja, Hon. Francis Waititu. Thereupon, I did refer the reservations of the President, as contained in the Memorandum, to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for consideration. The Committee did table its Report on the Memorandum during today’s morning Sitting. For the interest of Members who are yet to familiarise themselves with the content of the Report, the Committee had recommended that the House rejects the President’s proposed amendments, thus passing the Bill a second time without amendment as per the provisions of Article 115(2)(b) of the Constitution. In this regard, I wish to draw the attention of the House to my previous guidance to the House regarding the voting threshold for the passage of a Bill a second time without 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."
