    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No. 40(2) to request your intervention for alteration in the sequence of business, more particularly, to request that the Motion appearing under Order No. 14 in today’s order of business be stepped down from consideration of the House today. As the Order Paper confirms, I have proffered a number of amendments to the subject matter of that Motion. Some of those amendments include the matters I heard you earlier this afternoon mention to the House in terms of our being definite in the particular roles that we may recommend as a Committee. Unfortunately, I am joining a team from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, which is travelling to somewhere in North Rift on matters of this Parliament. I am told that there is a bit of jam on Mombasa Road to the airport due to the commendable expressway ongoing construction. Additionally, following the approval of my amendments, I have engaged with the leadership of the Public Investments Committee and it appears to me that it is possible that we may have a convergence on a number of those amendments. I was, therefore, requesting that we be given time when I come back. We can engage formally with the Committee so that those matters we can agree on, we agree on mutually. We do not have to fight over the amendments because we are both doing the business of Parliament. For that reason - and majorly the reason that I have to leave on another parliamentary business and I may not be available to assist Parliament transact that business – and, more so, the amendment - I crave for your indulgence and request for stepping down. Of course, I also crave for the indulgence of PIC so that this is transacted in a manner that the resolutions come out as good resolutions of this House duly considered. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
