    "content": "Hon. Wamalwa, you cannot just rise and sit as you choose. You are teaching the new Member bad manners. Hon. Members, you will recall that during the Morning sitting of today, the consideration of the Community Land Bill (National Assembly Bill, No.45 of 2015) at the Committee of the whole House was deferred and the Committee reported progress. This was essentially to allow Members sufficient time to study the Bill and possibly propose amendments. As you are aware, the Bill has a constitutional timeline and is one of the pieces of legislation requiring consideration by both Houses of Parliament. In this regard, any Member intending to propose amendments to the Bill has until Monday 21st March 2016 to submit any amendments to the Office of the Clerk. This will ensure that the Bill is scheduled for consideration at Committee of the whole House on Wednesday next week. I also wish to remind the House that the consideration of a Bill during the Committee of the whole House is not occasion for debate. That must be adhered to. Members wishing to contribute to any Bill are encouraged to avail themselves during the Second Reading stage of any Bill so that the Committee of the whole House becomes an opportunity where you only propose amendments, they are moved and seconded. One or two Members can contribute but not the entire House engaging in a debate. That is not the practice you will find in any jurisdiction. In this regard, any Member wishing to propose any amendments, please make sure that you submit them to the Clerk latest Monday. I thank you."
