    "content": "Attorney-General and the CIC have agreed that this Act suffices for the purpose of meeting the constitutional deadline of 27th August. The other Bill is on Article 48 on fair hearing. I want to confirm here that the Victims Protection Bill by hon. Millie Odhiambo which is on the Order Paper today has addressed this issue. This, again, suffices for the purpose of meeting the constitutional deadline of 27th August. Hon. Speaker, according to the CIC and the Office of the Attorney-General, there is a Bill on Article 227; The Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, 2014. This draft Bill, in the opinion of the CIC and other stakeholders, needs to go through more public participation. Out of the six Bills, that is the only Bill that we might need to have an extension of time because it is very important. However, the other six Bills will be in Parliament by Monday and if they are not I want you to go and use your powers to compel the CIC to forward those Bills straight to Parliament. That has happened in the last Parliament under the leadership of your predecessor, the former Speaker, hon. Kenneth Marende. But both the CIC, the Attorney-General and the Cabinet Office have confirmed that these Bills will be in Parliament latest by Monday."
