    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true. I remember the history around the Public Audit Bill, 2014. You remember that I was of the opinion that I think that there was misrepresentation on that Bill. You will recall that with regard to the Fair Administrative Action Bill, 2014, which is one of the Bills listed here, the process of dual conveyance was followed and what I have explained here is exactly what happened. The broad issue is that we have a number of Bills that we must finish. The delay in terms of these Bills reaching us this late is not a delay that can be attributed to this House or any Member of this House. My only appeal is that let us just work hard, process these Bills and move forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday, the Senate will continue with business which will not be conclude on Tuesday and further consider and vote on the various Bills that are in the Committee of the Whole stage. On Thursday, the Senate will consider Bills at the Second Reading stage, deliberate on Motions and any other business scheduled by the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). I just want to reiterate, and I hope that in the next two weeks, we can make some good progress, so that these Bills are dispensed with and meet the constitutional deadline. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you and now table this Statement on the Floor of the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
