    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.107, this House orders that the publication period of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Bill (Bill No. 6 of 2011) and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Bill (Bill No. 8 of 2011) be reduced from 14 to 7 and 6 days respectively. This will enable the matter to be debated in this House. If you recall, His Excellency the President had said that we had over 23 Bills that needed to be passed by this House. I am glad to inform this House that the teething problems that were there have now been ironed out. The Constitution Implementation Commission (CIC), Oversight Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution, the Ministries themselves and the Attorney-General have agreed that whenever a Bill is ready, they will be meeting in one room and give their comments instead of using the present process where, after the CIC has finished with the Bill, it is taken to the line Ministry and after that it is taken to the Attorney-General who finally takes it to the Oversight Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution. If they meet in one room, it makes it easy for all parties to give their comments. This way, we will be in a position to bring more Bills to this House. Lastly, it is also our intention that, once three or four Bills are ready, we will go on a retreat as Members of Parliament and agree on the amendments. That way, when the Bills come before this House, we will save further time by the reduction in debate. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
