    "content": "This Motion is very important to us because today is 14th and the date for consideration of nominees will expire today. A number of nominees have not even reached the committee levels. Many committees have not vetted these Principal Secretaries. This Motion is very important. I want to urge colleagues to support it, so that we can extend this period by another 14 days. This will give committees opportunities to vet these officers. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as we extend the period, we also urge the Committees to be vigilant because a period of 14 days is not long. If we take longer than the 14 days, we will need to come back to this House to further extend the period. As the leadership of Parliament, we shall be reluctant to do that because there is vetting and report writing, which we may need to seek leave from the Speaker to retreat and write a report. That takes time because some of the issues raised by the candidates require a lot of time to look at so that we can have credible officials hired to these positions."
