"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, Mr. Mbadi may be right in terms of the connectivity between Article 207 and the Public Financial Management Bill. But this matter was raised earlier when we introduced this Bill and we did bring to the attention of the House that the same revenue funds were contained within the County Governments Bill, which Bill was brought to the House before the deadline. What we are bringing into this is for good order; that all public financial management issues be brought within one comprehensive Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Members will also notice that although we passed the Guarantees and Loans Bill in 2011, it is also re-introduced into the Public Financial Management Bill - the same issue about the indemnities so that you bring all matters to do with the Public Financial Management into one comprehensive Bill. But that is not to say that they are already not brought in within the deadline in other Bills. The matter of revenue funds was contained within The County Governments Bill which was presented before this House before the deadline. When we presented that, the ruling was that we continue with this Bill because that matter had already been addressed. So, we are not in breach of any Constitution in discussing this matter now. Of course, all we are doing is that we are adding value to what has already been proposed through the other Bill."
