    "content": "I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, the Senate Amendments to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 40 of 2014), be now considered. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill, 2014 was passed by this House on 29th April, 2015. Being a Bill that concerns county governments in terms of Article 110 of the Constitution, this Bill was forwarded to the Senate for concurrence. I am generally agreeable to all the Senate Amendments to the Bill. I particularly laud the amendment proposed in Clause 176 which is to allow procurement entities like the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to lodge complaints with professional bodies against contractors who contravene the provisions of this Act or those who conduct themselves in unprofessional manner in doing their work. Looking at this Bill in totality, I am aware that some of the amendments that this House passed may require further amendments at a later time particularly those relating to the audit of security contracts as provided for in the Bill. On the amendments to clauses 33, 51, 31, 124 and 165, I am guided that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade has also considered them. I am sure the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade will be talking to these proposed amendments at a later stage when he gets the opportunity. I am sure the report that the Committee will table will guide the House in agreeing with the amendments that the Senate - our colleagues - has provided. In that regard, I beg to move and ask Hon. Benjamin Langat, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, if he is in the House, to second."
