    "content": "The role of a Member of Parliament, whether he is in the Opposition or in Government, is to serve the people of Kenya to the best of their ability. Just because some Members or hon. Aden Duale, as provided for in Standing Order Nos. 107 and 108, have been named and suspended for three days, that does not call for the Public Audit Bill, 2014, which is a very important constitutional Bill, to be shot down by the Leader of the Minority Party. I am sure we can rise to the occasion. I am sure we can do better. I am sure we can work for the people of Kenya. More fundamentally, hon. Speaker, this Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill is important, and is in line with the provisions of Articles 261(1) and 227. In Kenya we will have a fair and competitive way of procuring, looking for jobs and disposing of our assets. Members will agree with me that this House has met all its deadlines. This Bill, with your permission--- I will be very happy that today, or by the close of business tomorrow, we will be through with it. By the end of next week, we can dispose of these two Bills and send them to our colleagues in the Senate, so that they also meet the May 27th constitutional deadline, which cannot be extended again. With those many remarks, hon. Speaker, I beg to move. I ask hon. Katoo ole Metito, the Chief Whip of the Majority Party, to second."
