    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not know that there were so many amendments that we needed to look at. First, I want to thank the Committee that was involved in terms of looking at the Standing Orders and the amendments therein. Madam Amina had talked about the Liaison Committee. We are also concerned. I am in the Committee on Implementation. We are finding it very difficult. We were thinking of introducing a clause in the Standing Orders that would require a Motion to go through committee for scrutiny and research so that we do not waste a lot of Parliament’s time discussing things and, particularly, functions that have already been devolved. We have had problems making follow-ups with the respective Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and other Government agencies expected to implement certain recommendations. Those people are handicapped because most of the functions they are being asked to undertake are not within the national Government. Sometimes, it becomes very difficult for any person to act."
