    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as you are saying, there is really nothing out of order. I just want to support what Hon. Nyikal was saying. It is not just Hon. Munyaka as Chair of the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism. You will see there are also very many amendments that relate to other committees, specifically the Departmental Committee on Health where Hon. (Prof.) Nyikal sits and the Chair is not even here. I have just take a glimpse of the House this afternoon and looked at the Order Paper and the number of amendments that are there in this Bill and the sponsors of those amendments are not in the House. Maybe it is because of the issues that Hon. Munyaka has spoken about. I was really asking if the owner of this Bill, who is the Leader of the Majority Party, would consider withdrawing it at this particular time and give Members, including Chairs of committees, adequate time so that even those Members who are not here… For instance, I have seen there are very many amendments that relate to the Public Procurement Act and the sponsors of those amendments are contractors themselves. I would really have been interested to hear the justification of why people who are contractors are bringing amendments relating to the Public Procurement Act. We will lose that opportunity should we not have those Members here."
