    "content": "(ii) On Article 47, Fair Administrative Action Bill, 2014, both the Office of the Attorney-General and the CIC have confirmed that the Bill has been finalized and will be submitted to the Cabinet next week. (iii) On Article 48, on the Fair Hearing Bill, I want to confirm that the Victim Protection Bill, 2013 by hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona which is currently before Parliament has addressed this and suffices for the purpose of beating the constitutional deadline of 27th August, 2014. (iv) On Article 51 of the Constitution, the Persons Deprived of Liberty Bill, 2014, the CIC confirmed that it has finalized on the Bill and the Attorney-General will submit it to the Cabinet before it is brought before this House. (v) On Article 72, Environmental Management Coordination (Amendment) Bill, 2014, the CIC and the Kenya Law Reform Commission (KLRC) are currently reviewing and redrafting the Bill. This process will be complete on 27th June, after which the Bill can be published. (vi) On Article 226 of the Constitution, the Public Audit Bill, 2014, the preliminary draft Bill from the KLRC was recalled by the National Treasury for further scrutiny and will be submitted back to those said institutions. (vii) On Article 227, the Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, 2014, the draft Bill from the KLRC was similarly recalled by the National Treasury. The CIC is doubtful that this Bill can be concluded before the deadline and have written to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) of Parliament to seek extension of the constitutional deadline so that the Bill is not unduly rushed. (viii) Article 228 of the Constitution; the Public Service (Values and Principles) Bill, 2014; the CIC has confirmed that it has finalized on the Bill and the Attorney- General will submit it to the Cabinet next week. I wish to notify the House that the House Business Committee (HBC) is of the view that there may not be enough time for us to discuss ordinary Motions owing to the fact that there are several Bills sponsored by individual Members which need to be given priority as they contain solutions to the day to day issues as opposed to the ordinary Motions seeking answers. Next week the House will consider for Second Reading the following Bills:-"
