    "content": "(Hon. (Ms.) Jessica Mbalu): Very well. Hon. Members, having listened to the Members as they debated the proposed amendments by Hon. (Dr.) James Nyikal and also having listened to the issues raised by Hon. Makali Mulu, guided by our own Standing Orders, research and the Speaker it is, indeed, true that as far as our Motions are concerned, there is a difference between when you are moving a Motion in terms of urging and in terms of resolving, which has budget and money implications. That is where Hon. Makali is coming from as well as any other Member that would have spoken to it. However, when a Motion is brought before the House for moving or for amendment, the House takes the Motion in whole. For this matter, we have a proposed amendment by Hon. (Ms.) Dennitah and Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal that has three proposed amendments, namely, (a), (b) and (c). For clearance of doubts, in our proposed amendment in (a), Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal is proposing that we delete the word “urges” which is appearing after the phrase “this house” in the Motion which you have in your Order Paper in line 14 and replace it with the word “resolves.” Of course, that has money implications. In proposed amendment (b), which is part of the Motion, Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal is proposing a deletion of the word “to” which is appearing immediately before the phrase “provides assistive devices.” This appears in line 14. His proposal is to replace it with the words “through a planned progressive programme”. Then (c), which is part of the proposed amendment proposes the deletion of the word “provide”, which is appearing before the phrase “assistive devices”, appearing in line 14, and he is replacing it with “provides”. Notwithstanding, the interest we have now is in the proposed amendments (a) and (b). That is the issue that had been raised by Hon. Makali Mulu.
