    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am glad that the Leader of the Majority Party is reminding me of the old good days when I used to do litigation and I was the able Vice-Chairperson of the LSK, which I am proud to be a member of to date. I know that you are also a proud member of the LSK; hon. A.B. Duale informs me that he is a key speaker in our retreat in Mombasa on 14th August, 2014. I am waiting to hear what he will have to tell us. I stand to second this Statute Law Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill with the reservations, of course, that the Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned. I am alive to the fact that part of this Bill is before the Committee that I sit in, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The Leader of the Majority Party has acknowledged that the Committee is going to submit a report to this House on the various issues that it has raised on this Bill. As I second this Bill, I think hon. Members should be aware of the fact that a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill is just a Bill that seeks to rectify minor errors that are in various statutes that have previously been passed by this House. Therefore, amendments should not go into the depth of any law that has already been passed by the House. A Bill of this nature should seek to harmonize the various laws, especially those which were in existence before the passage of our Constitution in 2010. Therefore, that is the lacuna that any Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill should seek to fill, or sort out, in as far as the law and practice are concerned.
