"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. The reason I do so is because these Bills have timelines and we do not have much time to meet that timeline. So, if we do not shorten the period, we will be going over the period within which we are supposed to pass these Bills. For this reason, I would urge the Members that we support this Motion to shorten the period so that we can be within the constitutional requirement. I beg to support. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to add onto what Mr. Ngugi has said. There is some opinion which is also going round that we will not have enough time to look into the issues, the issues are heavy and land registration is such a difficult thing. However, I want to tell my colleagues that we have been with these issues for years. We have studied them, we have been in school with these things, we are now in leadership and so we know the difficulties. We know the problems. Now, it is decision time and we must do it. We must bite the bullet! We must pass these laws. If it is just burning a few more hours, let us do it because we must make decisions. We must make decision; whether it is right or wrong, and it must be timeously. So, I support this move to reduce the publication period to five days. At any rate, it is enough time for us to read the Bill, understand it, digest it and make reasonable contributions. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
