    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the order which I rise to seek from you arises from what my friend Hon. Ichung’wah, Member for Kikuyu Constituency has just said. You need to give us guidance. In fact, as I looked at the Order Paper before he rose, I saw that the Office of the Clerk had flagged it out that these amendments are subject to Article 114 of the Constitution and the Budget and Appropriations Committee had pronounced itself on it. Hon. Ichung’wah has informed us of the Treasury reservations. Article 114 of the Constitution is mandatory in its terms. It says that the amendment must proceed only in accordance to the recommendation of the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury. So, the intention of this amendment is good, but it dovetails to what we have been saying all along. This is an amendment that should not come in a statute law (miscellaneous amendments) Bill because we need to think through it. I do not know – through the Temporary Deputy Chairlady – what happened with the Leader of the Majority Party. I thought that the prompt actions Act had been published. I do not know at what point it disappeared. These are the kind of things that we need to look at. He has a point. People are committing suicide because of tenders that are unpaid. 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."
