If Parliament amends the Bill fully accommodating the President's reservations, the appropriate Speaker shall resubmit the Bill to the President for assent pursuant to Article 115 (3).” Further, Article 115 (4) provides that Parliament, after considering the President's reservations, may pass the Bill a second time without amendment or with amendments that do not fully accommodate the President's reservations by a vote supported by two- thirds of the delegations in the Senate if it is a Bill that requires the approval of the Senate. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.170, I refer the said Memorandum to the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for consideration. The Committee is required to, within 14 days, lay on the Table of the Senate its report on the Memorandum. I direct the Committee to table its report on or before Tuesday, 20th May, 2025 for consideration by the Senate. I thank you. I have another Message."
