    "content": "(Amendment) Bill by Hon. Pukose which is listed here but I have not seen it... But the other two, Hon. Millie Odhiambo’s and Hon. Wangwe’s, we disposed of them. So, if there has been any delay with them going for publication, it cannot be blamed on the committee. I have also had a slight experience in this when I tried to bring a Bill. You really have to chase after it; it does not move unless you keep chasing after it. The bureaucracy of Parliament has increased to such an extent that unless you chase up things, nothing moves. Yet in the 10th Parliament, things just moved as much as they should. Right now, apart from the delay before committees for prepublication scrutiny, there are also a lot of bureaucratic delays within the system. So, even as we try to speed up bringing these Bills to the House, we also need to relook at our bureaucracy. Have we built such a large bureaucracy that soon it is going to start stifling our functions? We need to see if we can breathe some life into our bureaucracy so that these Bills can move faster. Otherwise, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support. Thank you."
