    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir,the Public Procurement and Disposal Bill was brought into the Floor of this House just last year. The team that came to talk to us with Dr. Ojiambo highlighted a few issues that they thought were defective in that Act. We also felt as Treasury that in the course of the stakeholders' meetings that were held to operationalise the Act, various issues, 1054 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 31, 2006 including some that have been brought out this morning, were very ably addressed. Indeed, if you look at Clauses 27 and 28 of the Procurement Act, and the rules of procedure and regulations that the Minister was supposed to put in place for purposes of operationalizing the Act, it is very clear that it can actually take off. However, we do appreciate the role that the supplies management practitioners themselves can play in that very key subject of procurement and supplies in this country. Our appeal was on Monday, and it remains the same, that the Government intends to have this in place in the course of this Session. My appeal today is that Dr. Ojiambo - and we made this appeal on Monday night when we had that meeting - withdraws the Motion. The Government undertakes in the course of this Session to harmonise the Institute and the Mover's intention and bring a Bill to the Floor of this House. Thank you."
