    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House orders that should time appointed for adjournment of the House be reached before conclusion of the business under Order No.12 in today’s Supplementary Order Paper, the Sitting shall stand extended until conclusion of the said business. Members will note that the House adjourned the Committee of the Whole House on the Sugar Bill (National Assembly Bill No.34 of 2022), sponsored by Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe. When we adjourned, we had begun considering amendments to the Bill. I was in Shinyalu Constituency, Kakamega County, on Sunday for a church service. It is a great honour that we have representatives of the people of Kakamega County in the Speaker's Gallery. The question of the Sugar Bill is a matter which I was under a lot of pressure to ensure we finish. Considering the huge business, especially Government-sponsored business lined up in this last Session, it is likely that if we go beyond today without processing this Bill, it may fall off the Order Paper, considering how the House Business Committee has prioritised business. This being a Private Member's Bill, it is only fair that we accord Hon. Wangwe, the Committee Chairman, Hon. Mutunga, and, more so, Members from the sugar belt in western Kenya and parts of the Coast time to propose the necessary amendments and pass this Bill so that it can be assented to law or processed further in the Senate. Allow me to request the Whip of the Minority Party, Hon. Junet Mohamed, to second the Procedural Motion."
