"content": "Hon. Members, you will recall that on Thursday, 16th January 2025, the House rejected the Motion on consideration of the Senate Amendments to the Gambling Control Bill (National Assembly Bill No.70 of 2023). Consequently, the said Bill was referred to a Mediation Committee in accordance with Article 112 of the Constitution and Standing Order 149. Article 113 of the Constitution requires that whenever a Bill is referred to a mediation committee, the Speakers of the Houses of Parliament appoint an equal number of Members of each Houses to attempt to develop a version of the Bill that the Houses will pass. In this regard Honourable Members, having consulted with the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, I have appointed the following Members to represent the National Assembly in the Mediation Committee: 1. Hon. Daniel Wanyama, CBS, MP; 2. Hon. Omboko Milemba, CBS, MP; 3. Hon. (CPA) Kuria Kimani, CBS, MP; 4. Hon. (Dr.) Jackson Kosgei, MP; 5. Hon. Dominic Letipila, MP; 6. Hon. Kwenya Thuku, MP; 7. Hon. Ariko Namoit, MP; 8. Hon. Mark Nyamita, MP; and, 9. Hon. Irene Kasalu, MP. Hon. Members, we shall await the appointment of Senators to the Mediation Committee for the Committee to be fully constituted, for purposes of commencing the mediation process. Once I receive a Message from the Senate to that effect, I will convey the same to the House. Thereafter, the Mediation Committee will embark on an attempt to develop a mediated version of the Bill in accordance with Article 113 of the Constitution for consideration by the Houses of Parliament. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
