    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Sir, I am hon. Peter Kaluma representing Homa Bay Town Constituency. I beg to oppose the Motion. This is a House mainly of professionals, looking at both sides of the House, and I do not believe that a Member would require a whole 45 minutes to move a Motion considering the extent of expertise that I am seeing in the House. I have looked at Standing Order No.117 on what a Bill ought to contain, particularly the memorandum of objects and reasons. Everything that is contemplated in a Bill would be summarized in the statement of memorandum and the reasons for the Motion. So, I oppose the Motion. It should be withdrawn, so that we can reduce the time for the Mover from 45 minutes to 30 minutes and the time for the chairpersons of committees to ten minutes. We should focus the debate on issues rather than addressing our constituencies on the Floor of Parliament. I beg to oppose."
