    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Mine is on the same note. Standing Order No. 122 talks of the procedure of application of a Bill and also the introduction of a Bill into the House. Most of the Bills, including the Roads Bill you are talking about, are introduced to the House by the Leader of the Majority Party. Like you said, when a Bill is read in this House, it is upon the committee to go out and carry out public participation and invite submissions according to Standing Order No.127(3). So it is upon the chairman of the committee to move the Second Reading of the Bill. Actually, he is the signatory to the Bill; it is not the Leader of the Majority Party. Where is the Leader of the Majority Party coming in, in a Bill where he is not even participating in that public participation out there? We need your direction so that individual chairs own their Bills."
