If you look at the Order Paper, there is a star against all the Bills that have been listed thereon, and that star denotes Government Orders of the day. The Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill, Bill No.27 of 2011, is not a Government Bill, so, are the other Bills. The Government is not producing any Bills. The Government has not been working hard to bring any laws to this House. Why are they trying to masquerade as the sponsors of these Bills? The Chair should direct that a Private Member’s Bill, is a Private Member’s Bill. The Government must wake up and bring Bills to this House, and not pretend that these Bills are theirs. Can you direct, if you so please, that proper Orders on the Order Paper be indicated properly? We are not happy with this, as Backbenchers."},{"id":5376,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5376/?format=json","text_counter":372,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Prof. Kaloki","speaker_title":"The Temporary Deputy Speaker","speaker":{"id":62,"legal_name":"Philip Kyalo Kaloki","slug":"philip-kaloki"},"content":" The Deputy Leader of Government Business is here.

Members have done a lot of work in drafting those Bills, and that they need to be shared with the rest of the House. So, what the Government has done is donating its time, which is usually reserved for Government Bills, to expedite the Private Members’ Bills. Otherwise, these Bills would have had to queue for debate on Wednesday morning. So, the Government also means more than the Executive. Parliament is part of Government. Therefore, when we sat in the House Business Committee, we looked at this business as belonging to the wider Government and allocated it Government time. However, that is not to say that the Government does not have Bills of its own that it would have preferred to bring to this House. We recognised the fact that these Private Members’ Bills have been queuing for a long time and they needed to be given some time, the only time available was Government time. Otherwise, we would have to queue them all to be debated on Wednesday morning, which would have been unfair to the hon. Members who have done a lot of work in drafting them."},{"id":5380,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/5380/?format=json","text_counter":376,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Prof. Kaloki","speaker_title":"The Temporary Deputy Speaker","speaker":{"id":62,"legal_name":"Philip Kyalo Kaloki","slug":"philip-kaloki"},"content":" Minister, the star against the Bills denotes Government Orders of the day.
