    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, this House orders that the business appearing in the Order Paper be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3), being a Wednesday Morning, a day allocated for business not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party or business sponsored by a committee. Last night in the meeting of the House Business Committee (HBC), chaired by the Speaker, we had no business for this morning, being a day that is reserved for Private Members’ Motions. The only two Motions that were available were one by Hon. Chepkut and the other one by Hon. Omar of Mandera East. Because those two Motions which were balloted had to be in a process of which those individual Members had to give a Notice of Motion, then there was no way we could discuss them this morning. Therefore, they will give the Notices of Motions this afternoon and then they will be slotted for debate on the next available Wednesday morning. In the absence of any Private Member Motions, I really want to ask my colleagues that please liaise with the Table Office and start generating Private Members’ Motions and Bills. I am sure the staff in that office are ready to assist Members, so that we have more Motions to be debated concerning the people we represent. We had only two Motions which we balloted last night and the individual Members need to give Notice of Motion before they can be discussed. Having no business for this morning, we realised that the House had to sit and pick other businesses that were available at the desk of the Leader of the Majority Party. So it is just a procedural Motion to make sure that we do not break the law as per the Standing Orders. I beg to move and ask Hon. Cecily Mbarire to second.
