    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise on a point of order. Recognizing that today is a Tuesday afternoon, if you look at Standing Order No.38 (2), it gives exception to Wednesday morning which is an ordinary Members’ day. Obviously, this afternoon should be for Government business. Dr. Khalwale has spelt out the pending Government business that should have been brought before the House. I rise on the last bit about the Leader of Government Business. I think failure of the business in the House is because the Government does not have a Leader of Government Business. Last year, the Chair ruled that the Chair was going to consult the two principals and that, in the interim period; the Chair would be the Leader of Government Business without a vote. In that ruling last year, the Chair also confirmed that he was expecting the two principals to dispose of this matter expeditiously and immediately. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one year down the road cannot be expeditious and cannot be reasonable time. We therefore, want to plead with the Chair that it is high time the Chair decided whether it is there full time or it allocates the time the way Dr. Khalwale proposed. Better still, the Government can confirm to Kenyans that it is incompetent and it cannot manage."
