    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House orders that should the time appointed for adjournment of the House be reached before conclusion of the business on today’s Order Paper, the sitting of the House shall stand extended until the conclusion of the said business. Again, Hon. Members, this is just for good order and to ensure that we take full advantage of our having made our sacrifices and coming here today that 7 O’clock does not find us, perhaps with only seven or eight minutes to go to clear the business, and whatever we will have invested in the whole day will then have been put to hold until another Special Sitting. So, it is for abundance of caution. I anticipate we have one or two main businesses plus the Committee of the whole House. With the one-and-half hours we just approved, between Order No.11 and Order No.12, that should be three hours. We have four hours between now and 7 O’clock. We should be able to finish the Committee of the whole House and conclusion of the tax laws. In the unlikely event that we overrun the 7 O’clock, we would have at least covered ourselves. I do not expect we will be leaving here at midnight. It probably will be a few extra minutes past seven, but I would like to ask that we, as much as possible, having made the sacrifices, show the Kenyan people that when called upon, as usual, we will be there to stand for our great Republic and pass the laws that are required to be passed between now and the turn of the year. Again, we have done this before. I am sure we will do it again today so that the investment we have made from morning to now will be brought to a logical conclusion before we break for Christmas. We will have given Kenyans a Christmas gift in terms of the business of the House that is before us and which is critical to the people of Kenya.
