The Committee should expeditiously consider the Bill and report to the Houses as soon as possible to facilitate the passage of the Bill so as to unlock the consideration of other budget-related business dependent on the passage of the Division of Revenue Bill, 2025.

Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 41(1), I wish to report to the House that I have received a Message from the Senate regarding its decision on the National Assembly’s amendments to the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023). The Message conveys that on Tuesday, 20th May 2025, the Senate considered and rejected the National Assembly’s amendments to the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023). You will recall that the House considered and passed the said Bill with amendments on Wednesday, 27th November 2024. I, thereafter, referred the Bill to the Senate for reconsideration in accordance with the provisions of Article 112(1)(b) of the Constitution. The rejection of the National Assembly’s amendments to the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No.10 of 2023) by the Senate, effectively commits the Bill to a Mediation Committee pursuant to the provisions of Article 112(2)(b) of the Constitution. In this regard, the Speaker of the Senate has appointed the following Senators to the Mediation Committee on the Bill— 1. Sen. James Kamau Murango. 2. Sen. David Wafula Wakoli. 3. Sen. Esther Anyieni Okenyuri. 4. Sen. Joseph Kamau Githuku. 5. Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Jepkoech Kamar. 6. Sen. Catherine Mumma. 7. Sen. Moses Kajwang, CBS. 8. Sen. Daniel Maanzo, EBS. 9. Sen. Crystal Asige. For the Mediation Committee to be fully constituted, the National Assembly is required to appoint nine Members to sit on the Committee. I, therefore, call upon the leadership of the Majority and Minority parties in the House to expeditiously nominate Members to represent the National Assembly in the committee. The House is accordingly, guided. Thank you. Hon. Members, allow me also to acknowledge the presence of schools seated in the Public Gallery.

I wish to encourage all the students and assure them that this House, the National Assembly, is committed to enacting legislation that supports and promotes better educational standards in this country. I would like to share with the students a quote from Roland Garros, a French aviator. During the World War I, he said that victory belongs to the most tenacious. I urge the students to be very tenacious, persevere, work hard and remain determined. If they do so, they will reach where we are today, or even surpass us, and find themselves in greater positions than this Parliament. Thank you very much, Hon.
