    "content": "limited as follows:-A maximum of 60 minutes for the Mover in moving and 30 minutes in replying, and a maximum of 10 minutes for any other Member speaking, except the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, who shall be limited to a maximum of 15 minutes each; and that priority be accorded to the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, in that order. Hon. Members, you will note the essence of Parliament is to play oversight role. Therefore, we must give maximum time to our Audit Committees to bring to the Floor of the House all the issues the House needs to be apprised on. There is no limitation in terms of the time it will take for the Audit Report to be discussed. As we allow this, I want you to note this is a new provision specifically applying to Public Investments Committee (PIC), Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Special Funds Accounts Committee (SFAC). In terms of the time, the Mover will have a whole one hour to move the full Report. This is so that Kenyans can know what the auditors came up with. Then, we will have 10 minutes for each Member debating. We hope that as many Members as possible participate. So, there is no limitation in terms of the time until the Mover is called upon to reply in the normal way. This is a new one and I hope Members will thank the House Business Committee for this provision. I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party to second."
