    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. Hon. Members are aware this is the second time this year that I am publishing the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. The purpose, as usual, is to provide an opportunity to tie up loose ends that exist in several statutes that do not require individual Bills to be brought here. For example, in this Particular Bill hon. Members will notice that we are trying to clean up the Advocates Act, the disciplinary procedure and to remove references to the Director of Public Prosecutions because he is already a prosecutor. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are trying to structure the law on bail to bring it in conformity with the Constitution and international practices. But above all else, and more importantly, we are trying to make certain changes to the Political Parties Act and the Elections Act, 2012 in order to prepare ourselves for the election coming in March next year. There are other minor amendments to bring into line most statutes that have had some lacunae or omissions. With those few remarks, I beg to move. I want to request Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, my very distinguished friend and comrade in this work, to second."
