    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In yesterday’s afternoon Sitting at 2.30 p.m., we had a Bill on Nairobi Metropolitan Area Transport Authority in the Order Paper. The Leader of the Majority requested, under Standing Order No. 53, to be allowed to defer the putting of the Question to that Bill. It is clear that this was to be deferred to the following day, which is today. Looking at the Order Paper, this Bill has mysteriously disappeared. I think this is a matter that is very serious because the Standing Orders spells out that if you ask for deferring of the Bill or a Question to be put on the Bill, it should come the following day. Your ruling was very specific and I thought our clerks were listening and they would have made sure that the Bill was part of the Bills that are on the Order Paper for the Question to be put. I am seeking your guidance to know what happened to this Bill because we did not have any other HBC to either take a decision to defer it further. I do not think we have that space because the Standing Order is clear that this Bill should have come back on the Order Paper today, and probably the Leader of the Majority Party could have requested again for the deferring of the Question to be put. I do not know whether this is a game being played by the Clerk’s Office or it is being played in concurrence with the Leader of the Majority Party. I can see he is not worried about the Bill missing. I am seeking for your guidance for this House to move forward."
