    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the Provisions of Standing Order 20(3) This House resolves to hold a Sitting on Thursday 16th, Tuesday 21st, and Thursday 23rd February, 2012 commencing at 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. This Motion is informed by the need for us to do as much as we can to deal with the Bills particularly those on land and devolution ahead of the deadline which is on 26th of this month. I have given an undertaking that I will come and respond to the concerns raised by the Member for Chepalungu with regard to Government commitment to this very important matter of implementing the Constitution. Therefore, I want to urge hon. colleagues to treat this matter with absolute good faith because it is a matter we deliberated on as the House Business Committee and all of us are convinced that this is the way to go if, indeed, we will continue to show commitment that this House hitherto as shown with regard to full implementation of our Constitution. Mr. Speaker Sir, it should also be noted that it is not the Executive alone; we have, of course, an independent Commission, the CIOC in particular and Kenyans who must have their ideas reflected in the legislation that subsequently finds its way to the Floor of this House. Therefore, I just want to say at this particular moment that the Cabinet has done all that is within its powers including sitting very long hours to prepare the Bills that are now properly before the House. I know that you had to call for the Special Session of this House in order for us to be able to deal with these issues. Therefore, I want to urge that colleagues agree with this Motion. I will call on the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government who is also the first Deputy Leader of Government Business, hon. Mudavadi, to second this Motion."
