    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 5 of 2016) from 14 to 3 days. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is purely a Procedural Motion to allow us introduce the Bill to be read for the First Time. The urgency of this Bill is that this matter was decided by this House to extend it by three months. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court made a decision the other day requiring that pending matters relating to Hon. Justice Ombija and others be concluded expeditiously. He went to the High Court but the matter was still pending. Therefore, the urgency is to enable the Judges and Magistrates Vetting Board to complete those matters within six months. Instead of three months, we should just add them another three months so that it makes it six months. It does not require further funding. They have sufficient monies to carry out the activities within that period. So, we request for a reduction of the publication period of this Motion from 14 to 3 days. With those remarks, I beg to move and request my friend, Hon. (Dr.) Chris Wamalwa, a former lecturer to second the Motion."
