    "content": "Hon. Makali Mulu rose saying that before I put the Question, he would like to raise an issue. I have listened to him because he was debating the Procedural Motion. After raising the issue, I said I would address it after putting the Question. Hon. Members, I now proceed to address the issue raised by Hon. Makali. Firstly, what you will debate under Order No.12 is not the Report, but the Finance Bill as published by Parliament. The Report is a supporting document, and it has been published for some time now, because we have been debating it all over. As you debate the Finance Bill, you may make reference to the Report and restrict yourself to the clauses in the Bill. Secondly, this Report was tabled last night at about 9.35 p.m. Many of us were not in this House then. I directed the Clerk to upload it on the National Assembly website, which was done immediately. I also directed that physical copies be availed to every Member who wished to have one. I have been advised they are available. Thirdly, the debate which will start soon here after, will go on until 1.00 p.m. and from 2.30 p.m. until 9.00p.m. or 10.00 p.m., if possible. With the Report available, Members can at different times be reading and those who have already read and familiarised themselves with the Bill can continue to debate it. The Mover of this Bill or the Chair of the Committee is entitled to 45 minutes. By the time he finishes, Hon. Robert Mbui will probably have scanned through the Report. If he reads the J.F. Kennedy style, it will take him an hour to run through the Report and contribute to the debate."
