Senate · Afternoon Sitting
Thursday, 12 October 2023
The Senate afternoon sitting on 12 October 2023 focused on procedural business, including seconding motions and voting on a series of amendments to the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill. The House recorded a unanimous 35‑aye vote and also moved to read the Social Health Insurance Bill a third time. During the afternoon sitting on 12 October 2023 the Senate considered four bills – the Social Health Insurance Bill, the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill, the Equalization Fund (Administration) Bill and the Learners with Disabilities Bill. Committee reports were presented, most bills were approved (some with amendments), motions were moved and seconded, and each bill was scheduled for a third reading with divisions to be taken at the end. The Senate afternoon sitting focused on procedural amendments to the Digital Health Bill, including changes to clauses that would involve the Senate, county governments, and the Council of County Governors in health data oversight and regulation. Senators raised typographical errors, moved to insert collaborative language, and sought a committee report on the bill without further amendments. The debate was largely procedural and collaborative, with no overt conflict.

[(Sen. Cheruiyot laid the document on the Table)]

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate, today 12th October, 2023- Report of the Mediation Committee on the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 16 of 2023) .
[(Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltumbesi laid the document on the Table)]
Clerk, kindly proceed to call the next order.
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion- THAT the Senate adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 16 of
2023) laid on the table of the Senate on Thursday, 12th October, 2023, and pursuant to Article 113(2) of the Constitution and Standing Order 167(3) approve the agreed version of the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 16 of 2023).
Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 45 (2) allow me to rearrange the sequence of today’s Order Paper for the convenience of the House. We will move to prosecute Order No. 14. Thereafter, we shall proceed to the Committee of the Whole. If you look at today’s Order Paper, quite a number of Bills are stuck at the Committee of the Whole. Once we are done with Order No.14, we will proceed to the …
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I was saying, Article 211 of the Constitution stipulates very clearly that we are a bicameral Parliament. So, matters of debt are matters that still need to be tabled. The proposal was by 30th April of every month. However, it was a bit tricky to be able to give timelines. Especially if there is an exception circumstance that occurs maybe in May or June, then it bec…
So, we said that at the end of the day, because it is the obligation of each House to ask for the reports to be tabled in Parliament, then that would happen. We did not want to give the timelines of it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support and I am happy to table a report that we can agree with the National Assembly.
Sen. Mumma, please proceed.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this very important issue. I begin by congratulating the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget under the leadership of Sen.

There being no other Senator wishing to speak on this Motion, I call upon the Mover to reply.
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Members for taking their time to respond to the Motion and the very positive feedback that has been raised. I believe that if we keep and maintain this spirit, we shall continue to safeguard devolution. We ensure that our Members in our committees are extremely diligent, especially when we accord our committees the time, chance and opportunity to look into matters as the…
Congratulations to all Members of Committee on Finance and Budget and the Committee on Mediation for a job well done.
