"content": " Hon. Chris Wamalwa has pre-empted my contribution. However, I am aware that Standing Order No. 53(2) demands that at the end of debate of a Bill or a Motion, you are supposed to put a Question. However, I was rising on Standing Order No. 53 (3) that going by the numbers in the House, please, defer putting of the Question until a later date. This debate is just coming after we have had a long recess. In most cases Members may not have been present not because they do not like the proposed Bill but because of the inconveniences caused. Secondly, you are aware that many Members are preparing to leave for Mombasa for the Speaker’s Round Table conference. Because of the issue of flights some Members have already left, especially the ones that are in the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC). I am aware of this because I am in leadership. I just want to beg and request you again that you defer putting the Question as per Standing Order No. 53(3). Thank you."
