Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the further amendment to the amendment proposed by Sen. Kagwe appears to be a bit technical. Could Sen. Orengo explain to us in simple terms what his amendment means before we vote on it? What does it mean?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I also want to add my voice to those who are supporting this amendment.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, this Act was passed in 2000, almost 10 years before the new Constitution came into force. However, it has not been reviewed to bring it into line with the new constitution. This Act, which regulates the provision of services in Parliament – which means both the National Assembly and the Senate – does not recognise the Senate.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I know this is a very important Bill and this is the only chance that Senators have to speak on the budget making process. However, I am worried that some of us will not have a chance to speak to this important Bill because of time constraints. Could you consider reducing our time to five minutes so that as many of us can contribute?
