    "content": "Hon. Speaker I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Kenya Roads Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 47of 2017) from 14 to 8 days. This Bill was passed by this House in the 11th Parliament and then sent to the Senate. Members who were in the 11th Parliament know that the Senate usually takes two to three years to pass a Bill. This Bill got stuck in the Senate for two years and it collapsed there. We have now republished it with the amendments of the Committee, those of individual Members and those of stakeholders. So, we want to do the First Reading of this Bill so that come January, the first work of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing will be to look at this Bill. We will allow the Bill to go through the First Reading today and then the subsequent stages when we resume from recess. This is just to ensure that this Bill does not wait for the House to be considered for it to go to the relevant Departmental Committee. We just want to do the First Reading and then refer it to the relevant Departmental Committee which will be constituted by next week after we pass the list. Therefore, I ask the Majority Whip to second."
