    "content": "the House will dissolve itself into a Committee. This will conclude the first stage of the consideration of the Report. The Report will subsequently be dealt with in the Committee of the Whole House in a similar manner as the Committee Stage on a Bill. This is in keeping with established practice for considerations of rules of procedure of the House. The aim of moving into Committee is to enable hon. Members to examine each of the proposed Standing Orders, the Schedules and the Joint Rules one by one as in Committee Stage of a Bill and propose amendments where necessary. Hon. Members will notice that in keeping with the said practice when we eventually dissolve into Committee, I will take the Chair as the Chairman to facilitate deliberations more so as I am the Chairman of the Procedure and House Rules Committee. In Committee of the Whole House, I will call upon Mr. Ethuro, who is a Member of the Procedure and House Rules Committee to move the Motion: “THAT, the Report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee on proposed Standing Orders of the National Assembly, the Senate and the Joint Rules be adopted and further, that the new Standing Orders and the Joint Rules as contained in the three appendices to the Report of the Committee shall come into operation at the commencement of the next Parliament pursuant to Article 126 of the Constitution.” This is essentially the Motion of adoption of the proposed Standing Orders Joint Rules. The Chair will propose the Motion. The Clerk will then read each Standing Order and the Schedules, one after the other. We will dispose of them in that order like in the case of a Bill. After all the proposed Standing Orders of the Senate and the National Assembly, the Schedules and the Joint Rules have been disposed of, I will put the Question for the Motion of adoption of the proposed Standing Orders and the Joint Rules. I will, thereafter, call upon a Member of the Procedure and House Rules Committee to move the Motion which is: “That the Committee doth report to the House its consideration of the proposed Standing Orders of the Senate and the National Assembly and the Joint Rules and its approval thereof with or without amendments.” I will thereupon put the Question, if agreed to the House, will resume. This will herald the third and last phase of the consideration of the proposed Standing Orders. When the House resumes, the Leader of Government Business will, on behalf of the Chair of the Committee of the Whole House report in the usual manner as in the reporting stage of a Bill reported from Committee of the Whole House as follows: “That the Committee has considered the report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee on the proposed Standing Orders of the Senate, the National Assembly and Joint Rules and approved the same with or without amendments.” Finally, I will call upon a Member of the Procedure and House Rules Committee to move the Motion: “That the House doth agree with the Committee in the said report.” After this Motion is seconded, I will propose and later put the Question for the decision of the House on the Motion, indicating the conclusion of the matter. Hon. Members, I trust that all of you have understood this procedure. Indeed, all if not most of us, were here in the month of December - precisely I think it was 10th December, 2008 - and it this procedure that we embraced. We are just going to revisit that scenario once again this time round, just approximately four years later."
