    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support and second this Motion. Under normal procedures, Standing Order No.20 allows sittings to be done on Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday morning and afternoon, and Thursday afternoon. There is no provision in the Standing Orders that these sittings be held on Thursday morning. In view of the anticipation and excitement among Kenyans, and in view of the heavy load of business before the august House, it is prudent that we add more sittings in order to dispose of certain Bills and budgetary provisions by line Ministries in order to be ready for the wonderful inaugural day of 27th August, 2010 when we shall usher in the new Constitution. It is in this spirit and the spirit that was exhibited yesterday in the joint Parliamentary groups and other people that we want to move in tandem with each other and in the realization of the objectives and goals that have been clearly spelt out in the new Constitution. But before we arrive at that momentous occasion, we need to dispose of certain preparatory and mandatory Bills, Statements and Budgetary provisions, so that we can lay the money on the table to subsequently continue with the rest of the business."
