    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 97 which clearly states that the House may on a Motion made by any Member in accordance with this Standing Order, impose a limit in the respect of the debate of any particular Motion or Bill by allowing a limited period of time for such debate or by limited time during which Members may speak in such debate or by imposing such limitation. Motion for limitation of debates under this Standing Order may be made without notice. There are quite a number of comments which have been made by the Members here. Most Members here left this Chamber close to 1 O’clock in the night. They slept for about an hour or two then came back at 9 O’clock. It is only fair that we give them an opportunity to talk and contribute especially to the County Allocation of Revenue Bill which is very pertinent. As we know, devolution in this country is very key and touches the core of this nation. On matters of the Equalisation Fund, which has not taken effect for the last close to eight years, we need to make sure that it is grounded and benefits our people. My request, Hon. Temporary Speaker is that the Mover of the Motion, moving forward should be granted a minimum of ten minutes; the seconder should be granted five minutes and other Members should be given three minutes so that everybody can contribute. We only have one hour to 1 O’clock. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
