    "content": "Of course, there is a question of trying to balance. It was in the course of debate last week on Wednesday that hon. Millie Odhiambo raised something that, we as a House, need to consider. Wednesday morning is the only sitting day available to transact Private Members’ Motions and Bills. As it is now, Motions have taken an extreme back seat because there are very many legislative proposals by way of Bills that are queuing. Hon. Millie Odhiambo raised the question whether we should not, as a House, rather than considering reducing the days when we sit, be considering increasing the number of the days that we sit. Going forward, we will see many more Members’ initiatives by way of Bills coming forward. So, Wednesday morning you have to balance between the need to transact, at least, two Bills and the need to gear to get responses to Statements. I do not think we can blame the Clerk’s Department, we have to do a delicate balance."
