    "content": "Sorry, hon. Speaker. I need an assistant. It is like the work hon. Mbadi used to do when the former Prime Minister used to be--- I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28(4), this House resolves to alter its Calendar for the 2nd Session (2014) as adopted on February 26, 2014 and resolves to hold sittings until Thursday, December 11, 2014. Hon. Speaker, this is a straightforward Motion. We have discussed it in the HBC. There are a number of matters concerning Members’ welfare which we want to sort out next week, including staff of Members of Parliament whose salaries have not been paid. We want to deal with that. Two, we have four names which were read yesterday by the Speaker for nomination to sit on the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Board. We also need to dispose of that because as we stand now, CDF Board is not in place. So, we ask the Constituencies Development Committee to fast-track the vetting of the nominees. We also have the PAC Reports for the Financial Years 2010/2011, 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 which, if we conclude next week, will alter the amount of money to be shared between the national Government and county governments. When we come back in February, the Budget and Appropriations Committee led by my good friend, hon. Mutava Musyimi, will use that to set and guide the nation on the Division of Revenue Bill. I am sure the Committee on Appointments that you lead will next Thursday vet hon. Nkaissery. So, there are a number of issues. I want to request the Members that let us solve both the internal welfare issues and also deal with the few Bills and Motions which are remaining and, more so, the PAC Reports. Finally, we are publishing the two remaining constitutional Bills. The one on public audit and the other on the Public Procurement and Disposal Act so that we can, at least, do the First Reading next week and then refer them to the respective committees. Their deadline is April. So, by the time we come back in February, we will just introduce them for Second and Third Readings and then we take them to the Senate. On that note, it means you need to write a letter to the Senate that the deadline for all those constitutional Bills is April next year and there is no extension. You know our friends. You need to tell them in another language."
