    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the following Bills- (i) The Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 11 of 2015) from 7 to 2 days. (ii) The Fair Administrative Action Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 10 of 2015) from 14 to 7 days. Hon. Speaker, the reduction of the publication period for these two Bills is very important to this House. To begin with, the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2015) has statutory timelines and ought to be passed by both the National Assembly and the Senate by 31st March, 2015. I urge that the period of the publication of the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2015) be reduced from seven to two days. This will allow the Bill to go through the First Reading and other stages in a timely manner as it has to be forwarded to the Senate for consideration. In this regard, I urge the Budget and Appropriations Committee to fast-track the consideration of the Bill and report to the House. Two, the Fair Administrative Action Bill (National Assembly Bill No.10 of 2015) is one of the constitutional Bills with a deadline which the House extended to 27th May, 2015. I also urge that the period of publication of the Fair Administrative Action Bill (National Assembly Bill No.10 of 2015) be reduced from 14 to seven days. We need to fast-track the deliberation of this Bill to ensure that we are not caught up by time since its passage will also involve consideration by the Senate. The relevant Committee should ensure that public participation is conducted in good time before reporting to the House. Hon. Speaker, it is very important to note to hon. Members, at this juncture, that the House is scheduled to proceed to a short recess on Friday 3rd April, 2015 to 14th April, 2015. With this in mind, we are time constrained thus the need to do and fast-track the consideration of these two Bills. It is a simple procedural matter and I am sure we want to beat the 27th May constitutional deadline and make sure that the Division of Revenue Bill is passed. It is the one that will set the stage for the county governments to prepare their budgets and allow the Senate to prepare the County Revenue Allocation Bill, 2015. With those few remarks hon. Speaker, I beg to move and ask hon. Katoo ole Metito to second."
