    "content": "The reason for moving this Motion is because of the urgency of these two pieces of legislation. It will be recalled that after the First Reading, it was found necessary to withdraw these Bills and that there was need to consult with the newly established Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC). A lot of progress has been made and now because of the lost time, we feel that we should expedite and fast-track debate on these two very important Bills, without which we will find it difficult to implement the new Constitution. The date of the publication is 27th January, and if we are to allow the 14 days in consonance with the provisions of Standing Order No.107, the First Reading can only take place on the 9th of this month or thereabout. Therefore, in view of the urgency of this matter, I want to plead with the House that the publication period of these Bills be reduced from 14 days to six days. That way, we will be in a position to even have the Second Reading as early as next week."
