    "content": " Just a minute. Let us clean up this. First of all, I hear you. The reason I have recognized you is because in many of these Motions, you see them first on the Order Paper and Members do not have the opportunity of interacting with them earlier so that they can propose amendments. That is why very rarely we allow that type of amendment to come from the Floor. You seem to have good intention, but you probably have done it in a hasty manner. You need to clean it up. “Resolves” looks okay. If you are looking at your notes, the first amendment looks okay, but when you mention departments like the National Construction Authority, Kenya Bureau of Standards, National Director of Physical Planning, County Director of Planning and so on, there are three questions that hang in my mind. One, whether in the law establishing those authorities, they have statutory powers to do what you are asking them to do. I would have to check that. It may or it may not. I will have to take time to check that to be sure that, that is the truth. Two, I see that the original Motion already has several agencies. It is urging the Government to make necessary structural design adjustments to public buildings, Government Ministries, departments, and agencies. It seems to me that it is already talking to all these agencies that you may want to mention. I would advise you, without dissuading you to drop those specific departments that you have mentioned, to remain on the original intention of the Motion. You can suitably change by “resolving” instead of “urging”, as you may wish."
