A mediation committee is established when the two Houses must work toward an agreed version of legislation. It brings together members of the Senate and National Assembly to consider differences in their respective positions. The process is an important part of bicameral lawmaking.

Senator Kibwana’s appointment forms part of her documented service beyond sponsorship of her own bills. It indicates participation in a parliamentary mechanism intended to reconcile legislative differences. This appointment does not establish the bill’s final outcome.
