    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.98; this House orders the publication period of the Supplementary Appropriations Bill be reduced from seven to six days. This being a Consolidated Fund Bill, the requirements under Standing Order No.98 are that the publication period should be a minimum of seven days. Indeed, in the case of other Bills, as hon. Members will have noticed, the publication period should be 14 days. It is important, having 980 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 13, 2008 passed the Supplementary Estimates, that we get the authority to spend. This is so, in accordance with what the law provides. If the Ministries are to continue running, they need to draw money from the Consolidated Fund. Due to the importance of this matter, I propose that hon. Members agree that we shorten the period from seven to six days so that we can get into the business of giving the various Ministries the ability to continue to carry on the mandate that has been bestowed upon them by the people of this country. I beg to move and request Prof. Saitoti to second the Motion."
