    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order under Standing Order Nos. 136 and 133. You have sufficiently spoken to us this morning in your ruling that was raised by the Member for Laikipia. Before I prosecute my issues under Standing Order No.136, let me thank you for using very good provisions of Standing Order No.29 (5) with regard to setting a specific time; that today, we can go until midnight. That is the reason why this House of debate should be allowed to expand the issues in the Standing Orders. Allow me to bring to your attention the very provisions you have read about Standing Order No.136(3). With your permission, I will read the various provisions and ask specific questions which I would request that you make a ruling on, if you permit me. Section 136(3) that you have raised with regard to re-committal speaks to many things. Part of the things that it speaks to is that a re-committal of a Bill can be done at any particular stage, but that re-committal if looked at properly at 136(3) says that the person requesting that re-committal ought to specifically state the clauses that Hon. Member wants to re-commit. The first question I would like you to rule on is whether the Member who is proposing the re- committals has specifically requested for them. Let me prosecute my points because we have the whole day. Secondly, what is the meaning of Standing Order No. 136(3) with regard to the power of the House Business Committee (HBC)? My understanding is that the power of the House Business Committee under Section 136 (3) is mandatory. So, I would like you to read and determine whether Standing Order No. 29(5) can happen without the meaning of Standing Order No.1 36(3) with regard to the House Business Committee, listening to that amendment."
