    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also want to support this Procedural Motion. I agree that Standing Orders assist Members in terms of benchmarking and giving guidelines on how they should be able to conduct the business of this Houese. They also make matters easier for us, as a guide on how we should operate. However, there may be a little problem, which hon. Linturi had raised. On the issue of this Chamber and the premises of Parliament, it is crazy that some hon. Members litter this Chamber. When I came to sit here, I find chewing gum. Some hon. Members chew gum and just dump it anywhere once they are through with it. We cannot blame the administration of the National Assembly for such behaviour. During the Tenth Parliament, there was a major overhaul of the Standing Orders, which gave sufficient guidance on how the business of Parliament should be transacted. However, just recently, when we came back from the elections, there were accusations to the effect that the Standing Orders were tailored to favour one side of the House. This is now an opportune time for us to look at the Standing Orders afresh and come up with appropriate and suitable provisions. So, the timing is right. Therefore, I beg to support the Motion."
