    "content": "Motions. That means the whole morning session or the afternoon session is taken up by only one Motion, therefore, making it difficult for us to process the many Motions that we have. The House considers individual Members’ Motions every Wednesday morning, which has been allocated three hours each. Currently, we have 25 Motions before the House. If each Motion takes almost three hours, that is almost a day or a Sitting. It will be very difficult for us to finish these Motions. In the wisdom of the HBC, it was decided that Motion time be reduced to one-and-a-half hours and speaking time be reduced too, so that we have more Members speaking and more Motions processed. I would like this House to concur with the HBC so that we can fast-track more Motions and process business faster. This will accord the House time to consider and conclude all the pending business. Some Members bring amendments in their Bills and they take two to three years to process. I wish to request Hon. Chepkonga to Second."
