    "content": "pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30 (3)(a), this House orders that, should the time appointed for adjournment of the House today, Wednesday, 21st June 2023, be reached before conclusion of the business appearing under Order No.10 of today’s Order Paper, being Committee of the Whole House on the Finance Bill, 2023, the Sitting of the House shall stand extended until the conclusion of the said business. Hon. Speaker, just as we did yesterday, because of the constraints of time, Members will appreciate that the Bill has close to 80-plus clauses, including the New Clauses, and we may not be able to finish before the time appointed for the House to rise at 9.00 p.m. I do hope that we should be able to push very hard. In case we are not able to, we will extend the House until probably, around midnight. In a very special manner, allow me to thank the 176 Members from the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and the 65 Members from the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Alliance, who sat through the Sittings until close to 1.00 a.m., when the House rose. It is a demonstration of the commitment that all the 242 Members have to their work. That commitment was demonstrated early this morning when the House rose some minutes to 1.00 a.m. The same Members were here by 9.30 a.m. this morning. Hon. John Mbadi (CPA) was among the last Members to leave and among the first Members to be here this morning. Hon. Speaker, I beg that we be patient. We are doing this for our good country and for the welfare of the society and the just Government of the people of Kenya. I invite all of you to bear and be with us until whatever time we will finish. Allow me to ask the Chairman of the Water, Irrigation and Sanitation Committee, Hon. Kangogo Bowen, to second."
