    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You know, I am listening to those who are asking for the leave of the House. Honestly, that we can accept. In terms of what the Bill seeks to do, the Committee has done thorough work. It has done a Report. It has even recommended some amendments which are in line with what I am listening to. The Report was tabled a long time ago. So, if Members wanted to add some more amendments from that Report, they should have done so. The point is that the amendments are there. The Bill was published a long time ago; it has been in existence, and it has appeared in the Order Paper for a long time. It is just a matter of wasting time. This House is duty bound to do its work without having to wait for three weeks. People are asking for three weeks. The Bill has been in the Order Paper for more than three weeks. It behooves you to give direction to this House, especially regarding whether we should stop business because some people have not read the Bill. If they have not, let those who have read deal with the matter. I laid a Report here. The Bill has been there. The amendments by the Committee are even speaking to the matters, especially of statelessness. It is us who picked the issue of statelessness. I dealt with his stateless people. I have a report and a recommendation, which he was very happy about. We have put it in the Report of the Committee, and now he wants to bring amendments. I do not know whether he even knows what the Committee has put as amendments for stateless people. Let them read the Report tonight, and we can process the Bill as soon as possible. You cannot ask for three weeks for people who have not read. If people have been in the campaign trail, let them know that I have been sitting here. Every time I am required to be here, I am here so that I can deal with business. I also have politics to deal with. So, I take this business here seriously. I take the business of this House as first priority, and then I do the rest of the things. What I am doing here is to ensure that the people of Limuru and, indeed, the people of Kenya get services The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
