    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to support. I begin by bringing to the attention of fellow Members of the House that there is a beautiful article today written by former Permanent Secretary (PS) Bitange Ndemo on the issue of how we need to organise ourselves on this question of engineering and the substance in this Bill that has been well crafted and brought by our colleague, Hon. Cecilia Ngetich. I serve in the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. We have looked at this Bill. How I wish the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing which claims to be the substantial Committee on this matter availed its Report on time for the Members of the House to debate it. This is because we know this Bill is in the Second Reading. It is not a surprise it will be on the Order Paper. The fact that they have delayed and failed to give us their Report on time--- We got a promise that it would be available in the afternoon, but that will almost be to no purpose because we will not be debating this in the afternoon. I wish we had had that Report earlier."
