    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to speak to this Bill. First, when this Bill finally becomes law, we shall have made major steps towards achieving the Bills of Rights as stipulated in our Constitution. The provisions within this Bill will go a long way in helping us deal with issues of tribalism, nepotism and other forms of favouritism that are usually practised in our public offices. I say this because it provides that members of the public are adequately given information regarding certain administrative actions taken by the administrators. For example, this Bill envisages a situation where advertisements regarding those opportunities will be made in good time. The processes leading towards recruitment and employment of individuals will be transparent. When anybody feels aggrieved, he has several avenues of making sure that his sentiments are heard, including judicial review. This now calls on the Judiciary because in the course of issues to do with administrative action, they are usually a last resort according to this Bill. It calls upon the Judiciary to start making themselves efficient so that members of the Public do not get disappointed with them. This Bill will help us deal with tenders for contracts in various offices very firmly and conclusively."
