    "content": "prepare to receive all those Bills. We will work together and we will give Kenyans all the Bills that have deadlines. In terms of the statements, like I did say, I would like to be given more time so that we look at them. Some of them, looking through the list, have obviously been overtaken by events while others have been responded to but are still appearing on the list. It was circulated to Members of Government and they are still coming back to ask who has done what and who has not done what. We will come back with a comprehensive response by next week. However, I believe that the commitment is still there to respond to as many issues as have been raised by Members and also to ensure that the critical constitutional issues or Bills are cleared within the time given. This is obviously taking into account that the reports of Committees that have matured are also brought to the House for finalization. Indeed, there is also all the Bills by hon. Members. The programme is full and I would like to tell Members of Parliament that we need to agree on how we may need to keep on extending the time subject to concurrence by Members so that we can clear most of these business between August and September so as to give Members enough time to be in their constituencies as the heat builds up for the March 4th date which is now quite clear. I know that between now and October; that is the next three months will call on the time of Members and a lot of effort in this House to clear, as much as possible most of the business before we all move in to the survival mode. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."
