    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. Since tomorrow is a public holiday, we need to recover the day we shall have lost tomorrow. More importantly, there are businesses before us that we need dispensed with. We need to dispense with certain businesses before we go on the one-month recess. Top on the agenda is the Motion by Hon. Jack Wamboka where we need to pronounce ourselves as a House the earliest possible time on Thursday before we can adjourn for the long recess. Secondly, is the IEBC Amendment Bill, which is one of the NADCO Bills that are being processed by Parliament. Hon. Speaker, this morning, we had a session with you, under your able chairmanship and we were able to thrash out some of the sticky issues surrounding that Bill, save for basically one small issue that we shall be dealing with in the course of time between now and Thursday morning. We should, therefore, dispense with that Bill on Thursday at the Committee of the whole House so that the Senate can be seized of it for us to have in place a working, functional IEBC in the shortest time possible. Therefore, it is for us to support this Motion so that we sit on Thursday morning. Even though we have agreed on Thursday at 10.00 a.m., let us try to be here as early as 9.30 a.m., so that we can deal with these issues properly, Hon. Members. This is a historic moment; you never get it easily. A whole term of Parliament can go without you getting an opportunity to deal with a Motion such as the one presented by Hon. Jack Wamboka. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I second."
