    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will put that blame squarely where it belongs. The Committee on Delegated Legislation had written to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on 14th May regarding the timelines for these regulations. Now that these regulations have been tabled, it means that we must do a report before Tuesday next week, and the House will have to allocate time for its discussion, noting that they had all the time. So, even if we are to be given the regulations now, we will have a meeting tomorrow and Monday to come up with the report and the Leader of Government Business must provide us with time on the Order Paper, otherwise the six-month deadline, which is on 4th September will have been passed. So that we are able to put the blame where it belongs, I would like to table the letters the Committee, through the Clerk, wrote to the IEBC, and so that it can be seen that it is not this House that is sleeping on the job, but it is the Executive and the IEBC that have been sleeping on this job."
