"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank hon. Mungatana, hon. Oluoch Olago, Isaac Ruto, hon. Dr. Khalwale who is a Member of the House Business Committee and hon. Baiya for their contributions. The Leader of Government Business is not standing and speaking on his own behalf. He is only conveying a very firm decision by the House Business Committee that progress has to be made. This is the case. If I can start with your concern, the decision I have just communicated and handed over to the Clerks-at-the- Table is final as far as the House Business Committee is concerned. It is on maintenance of status quo. We did not need a Motion as my friend, hon. Oluoch Olago, would like us to believe; that we should come back here with another Motion, when, indeed, we are saying the Committee as constituted should proceed. That is what the House Business Committee recommends. Therefore, we want to make progress. The country is watching. I think this matter has taken very long. I want to congratulate the whips because they have really tried. They have tried their best to get the work of this Committee going. One time I was able to meet with the Members of the Committee. I left them feeling that we had made progress only to find that it was like a see-saw kind of a game. This time round, this decision is final and it is a decision of the House Business Committee. We expect the Committee to get on, whether or not the whips meet with them tomorrow or not is immaterial. It is just that we think that it is a good thing that they meet and begin to work together. We, therefore, ignored any resignations, withdrawals and such like things. My learned friend, Oluoch Olago, expressed surprise but I want to tell him that his own whip is the one who brought his name after consultations. We think that consultations, across the board, took place. I know that the Speaker who is currently in Bujumbura, Burundi wrote before he left and felt that we must bring this matter to a conclusion. He was otherwise, going to issue a communication, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, from where you are sitting. I, therefore, think that the country should take it from us, in the House Business Committee, that we mean business. I want to urge the Clerk to facilitate expeditiously, the work of this Committee. Thank you."

We are behind in the implementation of the Constitution. Timelines have passed due to the inability of this House, through one or two of its Committees to perform its tasks in accordance with the Constitution. This is not a matter that we can let drag on beyond today. Therefore, I am directing that the meeting that the Leader of Government Business is referring to takes place this evening and a report is submitted to the Speaker of the House by 10.00 a.m. tomorrow so that further directions can be given tomorrow at 2.30 p.m. The Rt. hon. Prime Minister, I seek your indulgence a little bit. There was a communication that the Speaker had indicated would be given in connection with matters that appeared last week. That communication, although has been prepared in draft form, I have not had the privilege of going through it to see whether it needs any corrections. Therefore, the Rt. hon. Prime Minister, we seek your indulgence so that that statement can be made next Wednesday. However, today, you may continue with your time."
