    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my point of order is that Hon. Kimunya is misleading the House. I have been in this House and I legislate a lot and in many pieces of legislation the standard wording is “open, transparent and competitive.” I know that because I have moved most of them. I am not going to withdraw this amendment. It can be put to the vote. I do not mind losing, but I will go on record that I prefer open, competitive and transparent process. I want to tell Prof. Oundo that there is nothing wrong with the civil society or the NGOs. It is actually what has brought this country this far. Issues of openness and transparency are what have brought us this far. Some of us are not embarrassed by our background in the civil society and we should not make it look like reference to standards - and they are not necessarily civil society standards - but standards that obtain, one, in Government documents and, two, in treaties that this country has ratified on governance is wrong. So, it is not civil society. Civil society is only using laws that we have ratified."
