    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I agree there is nothing out of order, but the Committee may be out of order. The Chair of the Committee knows that we do not need a report to debate. I would have understood if Hon. David Were asked for up to tomorrow morning. That is all you can give him. Two weeks ago, the Leader of the Majority Party stood before this House and prioritised this Bill because it is about a serious problem. By his own admission, he says that he needs to talk to the KRA, CBK and Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government and you know what that means. This is what we are trying to cure. We must help the Government. Hon. Duale had earlier alluded to the problems of drugs. This is a worse drug which must be dealt with like yesterday. I would want to engage the Committee. Further, I have read tabloids saying that I was demanding money from these people. We need to deal with this industry somehow. Hon. Speaker, I want to plead with you to deny him the time he is asking. Do not give him time and let us debate. I personally ask that we go for the weekend having debated this Bill and the Third Reading be done by next week. Before we know it, we will be facing issues of lack of quorum. It will be a tragedy for us if we do not confront this. Hon. David and the Members The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
