    "content": "If you have a Motion lined up for debate in the House, how can you fail to come to the House? More importantly, the leaders of these coalitions, just like Hon. Wanyonyi has indicated, need to take their work more seriously. They know what is lined up for debate and most of them sit in the HBC. They need to whip their Members to come to the House to prosecute their Motions. However, a bigger paradox is that as others take lightly their Motions which are lined up for debate, some of us are waiting for eternity for our Motions to come up for debate. I have a case in point: The Motion on education which I introduced some time last year was approved by the HBC but come this Session, it was referred back to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Up to date that Motion has not been brought to the House and yet it was adopted by the Minority Party as a Party Motion. You need to make a ruling on that as well. More importantly, these Members who have decided to make a disappearance act when their Motions and Bills are lined up for debate need to be cautioned and reprimanded in the strongest terms possible. In fact, I would suggest that their Motions, if ever they will be debated again, should be taken back to be the last in the queue so that they do not have the luxury of coming here again to prosecute Motions which they seem not to have interest in prosecuting. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
