    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill is very small but has some very important minor amendments to the statutes. It was published on 29th March, 2019 and read the First Time on 3rd April, 2019. The Bill is in keeping with the practice of consolidating various amendments, which do not merit publication as separate Bills into a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. Because we are going on recess, the House Business Committee (HBC) has decided that we do a Second Reading of this Bill today so that when we come back on 4thJune, we subject it to a Committee of the whole House. At the outset, I have withdrawn amendments relating to the section on the Micro Finance Act, after receiving a letter from the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya. He says that he is doing consultation with a view to bring those amendments in a more substantive way through the Finance Bill, 2019. So, the amendment to the Micro Finance Act No.19 of 2006 will not be considered in this Bill. The other amendments are mainly on four key committees namely the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, which will deal with amendments on districts and provinces; the Committee that deals with Alcoholic Drinks Control Act and the Departmental Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism, which will deal with amendments on tourism. I am sure the Chairman is on his way to give the House his views. There are also amendments relating to the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act as well as on VAT, which will be dealt with by the Finance Committee. I can see that Hon. Limo is here. This Bill was also referred to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, whose Chair is here. The amendments on the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act will be presented by Hon. Makali Mulu, who is a Member of the relevant Committee."
