    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Motion, which has become necessary because of circumstances beyond the control of this House and, indeed, the control of everyone. The time passed while we were still debating the County Government Bill. The Public Financial Management Bill requires a lot of extensive consultations with all the stakeholders who are required to be consulted as per the new Constitution. Holidays came in-between. By the time the matters came to the Floor of the House, obviously, the deadline had passed. The framers of our Constitution, obviously, had all that in mind and did anticipate that situations like these would arise and gave a leeway to this hon. House that should matters like those happen, that the House would be at liberty to then consider the circumstances, beginning with the Speaker considering the wisdom of the request and, thereafter, the House would then prescribe an extension of the time up to obviously a maximum of six months, during which time the matter can be disposed off."
