    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thought I could have said it a bit earlier but it is still in order to give my comments. Some Members have insinuated that there is no business this afternoon because the business on this Order Paper could take us up to six hours by discussing these three important Bills. Therefore, Hon. Speaker, it is not your mistake at all and it is not the mistake of the Leader of the Majority Party to have these Bills dropped this afternoon. I met the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing in a certain meeting yesterday and I remember he insinuated that he is very busy this week. It is now that I am remembering. Maybe, he is trying to come up with this important Report so that he can table it next week. Maybe the time caught up with him. That is why these two Bills are here this afternoon. Hon. Speaker, we have our new kid on the block, the Special Fund Accounts Committee. I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this was your brainchild and you thought it wise to have that Committee in this 12th Parliament. Most of our Members do not know the work of the Special Fund Accounts Committee and I want to inform them that from next week, we have a backlog of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) audited accounts which have not been checked by Public Accounts Committee (PAC) from the year 2013. Most of the Members were around from the Financial Years 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. From next week, the Committee, which I chair, will start looking at those audited reports and, maybe, we will be summoning your fund managers. We really welcome those who will be willing to attend the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
