    "content": "Hon. Mwaura, that is true. The Chair was actually advising hon. Members to make it stronger than just urging. If hon. Members continue not to take the advice, there is nothing that the Chair can do. So, really on the part of the Chair, we gave the advice and this issue of urging should change. You can urge but they decide not to do anything about it. What we said was that it is good to start with a Motion but if you want to see results, you go for a Bill. For some of them, when you see that they are likely to be Bills that can impact on Kenyans, you do not have to start with a Motion. Some people believe that it must go from a Motion to a Bill. We have our Legal Department here to tell you whether a similar Bill has been done before. A lot of times, hon. Members feel they want to start off with a Motion, just to train because many of us are new. But really, the legislation that is binding is, of course, when it becomes a Bill.
