    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Supplementary Appropriation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 4 of 2023) from seven days to one day. The reason for this is that yesterday, we extensively debated the Supplementary Estimates. We will also have an opportunity to do that today as we move the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. The reason for reduction of the publication period is that majority of Members who belong to various departmental committees have been interacting with the various ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) that they oversight. The urgent feedback that has come from these committees is that majority of these MDAs are currently idle and, therefore, we need to unlock the resources. This is so as to action them to continue offering services to Kenyans. Secondly, the Supplementary Appropriation Bill that we are moving today will unlock a lot of money into the pockets of Kenyans by, for example, paying for pending bills. Therefore, I ask this House to reduce the publication period from the usual seven days to one day because Members have already interacted with the contents of the Supplementary Appropriation Bill. I request Hon. Atandi to second."
