The import of this amendment is that those are matters that required further scrutiny by the Committee. I have sought the indulgence of the Chair of the Committee that, there were documents which were supposed to be supplied to the Committee but they lacked sufficient time. So, we want to address this matter in the subsequent Report conclusively, so that the Auditor- General can do further audit as directed by the Committee in their findings. So, that is the import of this amendment. I request Dr. Eseli to second the amendments.

want to pray and hope that the Senate will pass the Bills we have already sent to them. I also know that they are complaining that there are Bills which they referred to this House that have not been dealt with. The HBC is trying to prioritise and have them debated, so that, we have a seamless relationship between the National Assembly and the Senate in terms of Bills transaction.

As I finish, I want to add that Senate has been priding itself as the upper House, never mind that our Constitution did not make that clear. Now, we want to see this on Tuesday next week. This is because there is a Report going to the Senate on the Ruaraka land which this country has very serious interest in. The vibes in the corridors is that, that Report may be defeated. We are watching if the Senate is likely to behave as a senior House. Now that we going for referendum, we may reconsider and make it the upper ...

One of the examples that was being given is this particular one of two-third gender rule. At one time in the 11th Parliament, ...

If the number of women who will come to this House through this Bill are only 22 Members, what cost is that compared to the contributions that they will make in terms of development and legislation in this country? Some of the women who have come to this House are lawyers like Hon. Millie Odhiambo and Hon. Alice Wahome. Some of them are accountants and doctors. People think women are just like “this”.
