    "content": "Most important is what follows under Standing Order No.30. That is the reason I said that that ought to be read in a continuum. Standing Order No.30(1) says: “Unless the Speaker, for the convenience of the House otherwise directs---” I would like to take a pause there. In the morning before we convened the Kamukunji, you actually directed that we try to convene at 11.00 O’clock. That was your discretion. You can at some point use discretion to direct. So, at this moment, you have not directed as you did in the morning. But what is important is that the hours of business unless you direct is at 9.00 O’clock and 2.30 p.m. Hon. Speaker, you have not directed. Standing Order No.30(3) says: “Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), the House may resolve---”. This House has not resolved because no one moved a Motion for the House to resolve. So, we would have resolved to extend time. That was practically possible. We could have resolved to say we will go up to 12.00 midnight or tomorrow morning, but we did not do that. Since no one moved a Motion that you extend the sitting time, I really think we cannot have other business transacted because we are well out of time. That is what the law says. I thank and appreciate you."
