    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, my point of order relates to the next Order No.13 and specifically, part (i) on the Committee of the whole House in respect to the County Government Grants Bill (Senate Bill No. 35 of 2021). Debate concluded yesterday evening. It was the expectation of every Member that we would be given adequate time to prepare any amendments we would want to move. In the past, the substantive Speaker has ruled that debate in the Second Reading is not in vain. It is disheartening that the only amendments appearing on the Order Paper are those prepared by the Committee. In all likelihood, it would seem that they were prepared even before listening to the debate in the Second Reading. I seek your indulgence and that of the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that we put this matter on hold until tomorrow, so that Members who contributed or who have interests can have adequate time to prepare their amendments, take them to the relevant legal offices and have them checked and approved before we bring this matter to the Committee of the whole House. I submit."
