    "content": "THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House orders that should the time appointed for adjournment of the House today be reached before conclusion of business appearing under Order No.12 on the Order Paper, the sitting of the House shall stand extended until the conclusion of the said business. As Members are aware, we have suffered some delay in the processing of Bills. Now that we have some agreement on some Bills that we could process, and we are going away this week, when we discussed this within the House Business Committee, it was the feeling of the Committee that we seek the indulgence of the Members so that we are able to process two Bills today which have been waiting for a long time and which are just about to be concluded especially the Tea (Amendment) Bill that has gone through extensive consultations and which we then need to take back to the Senate for further reconsideration of our amendments. If we are able to clear that today or latest put the Question on Thursday morning, then we would be able to communicate to the Senate before they go for a break. Then they can rearrange how they will do it. We have done this before. I gave an indication to the House that as much as we are having limited time, should the need arise, we would be calling upon the House to show Kenyans that this House can rise to the occasion and serve Kenyans in the hour of need. Such hour of need is today. I want to ask Members that we prepare ourselves psychologically and also physically to spend some little time beyond 7.00 O’clock. Depending on how much we interact in the course of the Committee, with limited debate, we would be able to process far much faster. However, we anticipate that at least we will require at least an extra two hours of your time today which will be a great contribution to our great republic. I beg to move and ask the Whip of the Majority Party Hon. Wangwe to second."
