"content": "Hon. Members, before we go to the next Order, I wish to draw your attention to the following:- I wish to convey to the House that I am in receipt of two letters from the Leader of Majority Party, dated 22nd July, 2014 and 5th August, 2014. The letters indicate that he has withdrawn the proposed amendments to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2014 relating to the following statutes:- 1. The Public Finance Management Act, 2012. 2. The Public Benefits Organizations Act, 2013. 3. The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions Act, 2013. 4. The Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012. 5. The National Intelligence Service Act, 2012 6. The Salaries and Remuneration Act, 2011. Hon. Members, the practice of withdrawing certain parts of a published omnibus Bill of the nature of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, is not unusual. As a matter of fact, during the last session of the Ninth Parliament, the then Speaker consented to a request made by the then Attorney-General to withdraw parts of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2007. Similarly, on 3rd June, 2012, during the term of the 10th Parliament, my immediate predecessor allowed the Attorney-General to withdraw part of the published clauses of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2012 relating to the National Remuneration Act, and Finance Act, 2012. Hon. Members, in light of the foregoing, I find the request made by the Leader of Majority Party to be within our practice and, therefore, allowable. In this regard, the proposed amendments relating to the said statutes; that is the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, the Public Benefits Organization Act, 2013, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, 2013, the Kenya Defence Forces Act, 2012 and the Salaries and Remuneration Act, 2011, as contained in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2014 are hereby ordered to be withdrawn and will henceforth be treated as if they are not part of the said Bill. These parts of the Bill will, therefore, not be considered in the Second Reading and will also not be moved, should the Bill proceed to the Committee of the whole House. Thank you, hon. Members."
