    "content": "It has been a standard practice in the Commonwealth and in Kenya that where a Bill deals with substantial portions of any legislation, it should be made through a separate substantive Bill instead of having an omnibus Bill which involves several Bills. For example, in this one, there are more than six or seven Bills which are dealt with at the same time. As they say, the devil is in the details. In a Bill of this nature, looking at the details becomes extremely difficult. In fact, I am in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and without the assistance of the Clerk to that Committee; it would have been extremely difficult to wade through the substance of some of these amendments. Unfortunately, I have to disclose that I did not attend all the meetings of the Committee at the time. I attended the Committee meeting when we were dealing with legislation on The Betting Lotteries and Gaming Act. For that reason, I may not speak with the authority the distinguished Member from Nakuru has debated this Bill. We belong to the same Committee and I congratulate her for being faithful to the report of the Committee. On the part relating to the portions that were discussed when I was there, she has clearly brought out what came out in the Committee. Madam Temporary Speaker, the proposed amendments to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act are substantive. They are not a one sentence or one word The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
