I know that my colleague Senators are busy with committee sittings and other business beyond the voting, but it is equally important to vote and pass legislation. I hope that next week, we shall raise the requisite numbers to conclude all the businesses that I have read. Some of these Bills date back to 2015, if I may recall. The first time I heard of the Local Content Bill was in 2015 and it is still in our Order Paper. It has gone full circle and I wish that we can conclude on it because it is an important Bill that will help our county governments earn revenue from explorative activities. Therefore, I want to urge colleagues to find time to be present in the House for us to conclude on this business. I thank you and lay this Statement on the Table of this House."}
