    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not intend to take much time. So, Members who would like to contribute on the next Motion will have some few minutes. Once the public participation time ends; the seven days that the public have been notified through the newspapers, the relevant Committee of this House will pick the Bill and use the memoranda from the public, if any. Then they will bring a report by next week before we move to the Committee stage on this Bill. That is when the proposed amendments can be moved. Even individual Members, who have very positive amendments as I have heard from some Members, are welcome to do it. We will support them at that time. Let me clarify some issues that were raised by the Members when contributing. Hon. Millie Odhiambo spoke about Clause 4(3)(a) of the Bill which provides that a person is supposed to appear in person whether alone or in the company of any person or intermediary of their choice other than a legal representative. This is a proper concern. We should not exclude the right of a person to come with a legal representative. Hon. Millie Odhiambo is a Member of the Committee. If she is not, she is welcome to bring such an amendment. She also raised the issue of how long one should wait for information to be availed after making a request. This is not clear in the Bill. It is important for this to be clarified at the Committee stage. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
