David Eseli, Member for Tongaren, and Hon. Patrick Musimba, Member for Kibwezi West. If we proceed in plenary, the House will find itself in difficulties. As you all know, sooner than later, there will be less than 20 of you considering those amendments. Therefore, in order to allow proper consideration of those amendments as happens in other circumstances, I have rearranged that business. When the House goes into Committee to consider the other two businesses which Hon. Mutava Musyimi will be moving, after conclusion, the business appearing as Order No.16 will be considered in the Committee of the whole House, so that the amendments can be considered with greater ease than when they are considered when the House is sitting in plenary. Therefore, after the amendments are disposed of, debate can resume in plenary for consideration of Report with or without those amendments. That way, the House will get over the hurdle of having to put the Questions and disposing them in Committee as opposed to the rigours of having to put Questions on the proposed amendments to get approval and then proceed to the next amendment which may prove fairly difficult in terms of quorum. It is now an altruism that we have gotten into some serious headache about realising quorum. Hon. Members, that is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
