    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I report on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC) which you chair every Thursday. Hon. Were is a Member of the HBC and knows the Standing Orders very clearly. When the Bill is read the First Time, it is given 21 days. This Bill has stuck in this House for too long. A number of times we have debated Bills after the Committee has delayed the report. This Bill should not be different from them. We are dealing with a very serious matter. Those Members who have read the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.49 of 2016) will know what we are talking about. I just want to join my colleague, the Mover, and because of the issue of quorum and this matter being very serious, ask you not to allow the Chair that luxury. Maybe he wants to go and do voter registration in the next two weeks or campaign, but allow us to deal with this monster. This is a very serious matter. Last night, I was watching the premier league and I saw a logo down there written “SportPesa”. They pay over Kshs3 billion every year to teams. Who pays? It is Kenyans in our villages. This is a serious Bill and we need to discuss it. So, use your wisdom and between the two weeks he is asking and the one day the Mover is asking, I am sure you can make some very wise decision. We need to deal with this matter looking at the quorum issue in the House. I agree with him, but maybe next week Tuesday would be fine, but the decision lies with you, Hon. Speaker. We must deal with this matter."
