    "content": "relies upon the Public Service Commission to really look at our public service and its capacity to deliver programs to our people. In this regard, the National Treasury also needs to review the Public Procurement Law. We have talked about that today so that it is facilitated and not prohibitive, creating unnecessary bottlenecks. I wish to thank as I close, the Members of my Committee again, your office for valuable advice from time to time, and of course the Parliamentary Budget office with whom we have worked closely. I also thank the National Treasury, I am aware that we are going through a transition and it is quite obvious to me, that we need to know how to work together during the highlights given by the National Treasury Cabinet Secretary in this House, not too long ago. I did talk about the importance of understanding that the organs of State need to work in a complimentary and interdependent manner. Much was said about separation of powers when we were struggling for a new Constitution, I think we need to remind ourselves, that if we are going to deliver to our people, the Supreme Court needs to work closely with the Court of Appeal. We are beginning to see noises. The National Government needs to work complimentarily with the county governments. The National Assembly needs to work in a complimentary manner with the Senate. This National Assembly with regard to budget process needs to work closely with the National Treasury. We want to assure the National Treasury that, we are willing and ready to work as closely with them as possible in a facilitative way and working with them as colleagues. I therefore wish to thank all of us and look forward to hearing the comments from this Floor of these honourable Members as they contribute to this Bill so that we can improve our capacity as a committee. As you have probably have noticed, we are very by partisan in the way operate in the Committee. We are more professional and program people when we sit in that Committee than politicians. I give much credit to all the Members of the Committee; we have been able to do a lot for this country. As a matter of fact, we have decided, in the interest of efficiency, we want to do public hearings in September, October, and November using the county platforms so that we cover the entire country. By the end of this year, we shall know what the priorities are as a Committee, so that we can engage the National Government early enough, so that we are not doing catch up as indeed has been the case. I beg to thank you for giving me this opportunity to move this Motion and now with your permission I beg to request you to allow hon. Member for Mbalambala hon. Abdikadir Aden to second the Motion. I thank you."
