    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.97(1), this House orders that each speech in the general debate contemplated under Standing Order No.146 (Consideration of Senate amendments to Bills originating in the National Assembly) be limited as follows: a maximum of one hour and thirty minutes, with not more than 15 minutes for the Mover in moving, 15 for the Chairperson of the relevant Departmental Committee, and five minutes for any other Member speaking, including the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party (if the Bill is not party-sponsored), and that five minutes before the expiry of the time, the Mover shall be called upon to reply; and further that priority in speaking shall be accorded to the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Chairperson of the relevant Departmental Committee, in that order. Hon. Members, this relates to a Bill that originates in the National Assembly and affects counties. When we refer it to the Senate and they make amendments or give us a report, we do not expect a lot of debate because, either they have agreed or not agreed with the original Bill. That is why debate is being limited to a maximum of one-and-a-half hours to either agree or disagree with the Senate. If we disagree, we go for mediation. If we agree, the Bill goes for assent. It is a fairly straightforward issue. I notice that the Deputy Whip of the Minority Party has been present in the House today. I beg to move and ask that Hon. Dr. Eseli seconds."
