    "content": " Order, hon. Members. Those who are walking or standing, resume your seats so that we can get into this business. I want to plead with you Members not to walk out when we are in the Committee of the whole House because this is where the real business is and today we are considering a Bill which will concern each one of you, if you did not look at the Order Paper. So, do not come at a point that you are going to cry, so to speak, that business proceeded in your absence. I really want to persuade you that you are walking out at your own peril, but because you have chosen to walk out anyway, we will proceed with the business as it appears. Members, this is Committee of the whole House to consider the Election Campaign Financing Bill, National Assembly Bill No.14 of 2013. It has gone through the Second Reading. We have debated it. It has matured. It has also gone through Committee participation. The Committees have done their report which is before the House. Members, I think you have satisfied yourselves with the contents of that report. Today, there are several amendments that have been proposed by the Committee which appear on the Order Paper, as you can see. There are also proposals by private Members on amendments, both on new clauses and replacements here and there. So, we are going to proceed with them. Hon. Eng. Gumbo and hon. Mwaura, both of you have proposed amendments here and there. You need to work with us very closely because there are some amendments that have been proposed by the Committee which you are either converging or diverging from and you should let us know at what point you are doing so because when the amendments, for example, by the Committee Chair are taken, you would want to know whether yours have been taken care of or they can still be prosecuted further. So, you need to be very vigilant so that we do not bypass you. Hon. Members, this is how we will go. Thank you very much."
