    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish to thank the Acting Leader of the Majority Party for outlining the programme that will come before the House next week. In the programme that the Acting Leader of the Majority Party has outlined, one of the Bills slated for Third Reading is the Public Audit Bill. I have a number of amendments, in fact, about 50 of them, and it has taken me almost two weeks to prepare them. I am raising this concern because, when we did the Election Financing Bill, I made several amendments but the Committee considered them without inviting me. The amendments that appeared in the Order Paper left out some of my proposals. I believe a lot of these amendments are meant to enrich the Bill. The tradition we have had in this House is to engage the Member so that you reach an agreement. This is because some of these amendments will already be captured by somebody else. If we can engage, then we will be able to know which ones are going to be admitted, or which ones have been captured so that we do not duplicate our services."
