    "content": "Hon. Members, I want to join what has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party and the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party that the two sides consult. However, just as Hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo has just said, it is unfortunate that the drafters of the Constitution decided to put the Sword of Damocles on Parliament; it is to hang around Parliament, more specifically the National Assembly, for reasons of inactivity, whether deliberate or not, by others and claim that in the event that Parliament fails to enact legislation either the one--- If you recall, there were some Bills which required to be passed within six, 12 and 18 months or two years. As you remember the history, on various occasions, the House had to extend time. This being the last set of Bills, it is only fair that both sides of the House meet, as leadership, and decide whether you want us to proceed with the Motion tomorrow in the afternoon. This is a matter that we need to resolve in one way or another. If the leadership agrees that we have this Motion proceed in the afternoon tomorrow, then I would direct that it be put on the Order Paper as business No.1, so that then you can resolve it in one way or another either by agreeing to extend or not to extend. The rest will then follow. The consequences are provided for in Article 261. I, therefore, would encourage that the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party, and as many as Members of your coalitions as you deem necessary to attend that meeting. Meet tomorrow then inform me in good time for the preparation of the Order Paper. Even if need be, we can do a Supplementary Order Paper to accommodate your resolution. It is so ordered."
