    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter before us and this House is one. We had a schedule that said that all Bills that were listed in the Schedule should have been cleared and enacted by 27th February. Two Bills were not enacted by 27th February. So, the matter in question, regardless of whether it is the County Government Bill or Public Financial Management Bill, is that there are two Bills that have not been enacted and we need to expand the time available to us to transact those Bills. When that matter is disposed of, which is the simple matter of extending the time, then the individual Bills will come to the Floor of the House. If hon. Mbadi wants to argue in terms of what should happen to the President’s Memorandum at that point, he will have the opportunity within the time allocated for the Presidential Memorandum. If he wants to act separately for the Public Financial Management Bill, it will be on the Order Paper separately. They will not come as a slate. I think it is important that we make this clarification, so that we have three different issues. There is a Motion to extend the time, which is provided for within the Constitution. The matter here is that we extend the time. Then, once the time is extended, we now have the specific slots on the Order Paper for the individual Bills, which will then go through their processes within that framework."
