    "content": "Hon. Speaker, protect me from Hon. Wamalwa. We know he has received Hon. Onyonka who moved from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to Jubilee and then from Jubilee to ODM and again to FORD-Kenya. Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. This Procedural Motion is straightforward. The law allows us to do this with the consent of the House. Because of the timelines and since we are going on recess as per the Calendar of the House on Thursday so that we can prepare ourselves for the daunting task of party primaries for those of us who will go through that system, we realized that it is good that we finish with the Appropriation Bill. I want to thank the Parliamentary Budget Office and the Budget and Appropriations Committee for working extra time and publishing the Bill over the weekend so that we can reduce the publication period from seven days to five days. This will allow the House to consider the Second Reading of this Bill. It is important to all of us. The budget for the Parliamentary Service Commission is contained in this Bill. The Executive and the Judiciary both draw their money from the Bill. We are a serious House. On that note, I want to go on record that there are five critical Bills that this House dealt with close to one year ago, and which are lying in the Senate. I hope they are watching me and listening. They are: The Petroleum and Exploration Bill, the Energy Bill, the Health Bill, the Roads Bill, the Physical Planning Bill and above all, the Land Index Bill. I want to ask the leadership of the Senate and the Speaker of the Senate to help us by dealing with that matter before they go on recess. We will also deal with the matter of the Division of Revenue Bill that concerns the amount of money we give to counties. It is straightforward. I beg to second the reduction of publication period of the Appropriation Bill, 2017."
