    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You know, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party was a drama teacher in school. He speaks with a lot of expressions when making a point and that is very good. What we are seeking in this Procedural Motion is to exempt the business appearing as Order No.9 in today’s Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3). Members know that Wednesday morning sittings are preserved for Private Members’ Bills. That can only be exempted through such a Motion. This House has to be in agreement with the Motion so that it dispenses with crucial Government business. One of the serious businesses that we need to dispense with in the Order Paper is the Social Protection Bill. Several Members are confusing the Bill with what is appearing under Order No.11 of the Order Paper and the Bill that was in yesterday’s Order Paper. I want to assure Hon. Members that the Bill that is in Order No.11 is a Private Member's Bill. It is very different from what Members think ought to be in the Order Paper. So, we seek to exempt the business appearing as Order No.9 in today’s Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3) so that we can push forward the business of the Social Protection Bill. I was surprised when Hon. Owen said that the reason we are pushing for the Social Protection Bill is to support people like the Member for Kwanza. I do not know what he meant and whether the Member for Kwanza is 75 years old and he requires the Ksh2,000 every month."
