"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was trying to catch your eye, but when you finish reading the Motion and you are still standing it makes it very difficult for us to say something. What the House is doing now is very important in terms of trying to agree on the time-frames we will be doing Motions, Bills and all that. However, you will realise that even as the House passes this Motion, what has been happening, and I hope it will not happen in this Session, is that very important Motions and Bills would come to the House, be debated and immediately they are moved and seconded Members would not be allowed even a single minute to debate. How I wish this time, since we have mostly two to three hours, at least, one or two Members will be allowed to debate. I still insist and beg the House to realise that some of these Motions are very important to the nation, and it is important that Members are allowed to say one or two things about them. For example, when we were discussing the appointment of the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, the Hansard can bear me witness, other than the Mover and the Seconder, nobody else was allowed to debate."
