    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. We had agreed when we last sat on the subject matter to meet with Hon. Millie Odhiambo and Hon. Pkosing yesterday. We were able to meet with Hon. Pkosing. Hon. Millie was not in the meeting. What she informs me now is that she went straight to meet the Chair of the Committee. There was no good communication between us. My view, and this is the instruction from the Chair of the Committee, is that the amendments which we needed to make have been narrowed a bit. I have just informed Hon. Millie that even in her absence, there are some of her amendments we have acceded to in principle. So, my view would be that this is business which has been dragged for far too long. We should be allowed to dispense with it. Members of the Committee are on their way coming. If there are reasonable concessions, we can persuade one another across the aisle, so that this business of the Refugees Bill leaves the Floor of the House. Our request is that, unless there are very contentious issues, we proceed. If there were to be any contentious issues, because I also see the Health Bill coming to the Committee of the whole House with just one or two clauses, it can precede the Refugees Bill, then proceed immediately after its conclusion, just to hear Hon. Millie on the issue that could be contentious. It would be good that we conclude."
