    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, Miscellaneous Amendments Bill is huge and it touches on a number of sectors. But more fundamentally, what makes us pass this Bill before we go on recess is that one of the amendments in that Bill touches on the vetting of judges and magistrates which is coming to an end. We still have about 300 magistrates to vet. Hon. Deputy Speaker, what we are reducing is only the period that the relevant Committee can have this Bill from 20 days, as is stipulated in the Standing Order, to 14 days. So, we are reducing the period by only about six days, so that it comes back to the House for Second Reading and Third Reading before we go for recess on 5th of December, 2013. I would urge my colleagues that, at least, we dispose of this Bill and many others before we break for the Christmas and the New Year holidays, after which we will start the Second Session. I would ask my colleague, my good friend, hon. Ng’ongo, to second. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
