    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have said that this House cannot act in vain. We are wasting public resources. We cannot be urging. This House must deal with Motions that say “the House resolves” so that the Committee on Implementation can follow up on that matter. Now, this is a very important Motion which we have passed but on the face of it, we have only urged and that is the end of the story. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think you will need to talk to our Members that the Motions that the House Business Committee (HBC) will deal with should either be Motions that ask the House to resolve or we go back to those existing principal Acts and bring amendments to the existing legislation. The whole morning we dealt with two Motions. At the end of it, I can tell you I am a pastoralist and so I count my investment. If there are 10 camels there are 10 camels. If there are 20 there are 20, but this House cannot just be urging and urging and urging. This is a matter we raised earlier and I think the Clerk’s Office should tell Members that every Motion that will come to the House must be one that in the end will resolve and then the Committee on Implementation can go and follow up on the relevant Government institutions."
