    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the following Bills: 1. The Affordable Housing Bill (National Assembly Bill No.75 of 2023) from 14 days to three days. 2. The Land Laws (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.76 of 2023) from 14 days to one day. The reason for seeking this House’s approval of reduction of the publication period for these Bills is time constraints. As we are all aware, we are proceeding for recess today. Therefore, we would like to publish these Bills early so that as we proceed for recess, the respective Departmental Committees can conduct public participation on them. This will ensure that when we resume, the Bills will be ready for discussion. That way, the laws will be ready for use as required. I urge this House to look at the importance of these Bills, especially the Land Laws (Amendment) Bill. There are many issues affecting land that have remained unresolved because the laws have not been reviewed. The Affordable Housing Bill is also a very crucial piece of legislation which we must dispose of fast, as directed by the court. Therefore, I would like us to approve this Procedural Motion. I request my friend, Hon. Wangwe, the former Whip of the Majority Party, to second."
