    "content": " Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 97(4) and in furtherance to the provisions of Standing Order 24(6), this House orders that, debate on the Motion on the Address by the President be limited to no more than 30 minutes for the mover in moving, 20 minutes for the Leader of the Minority Party, and 10 minutes each to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to speak on the Report submitted under Article 132(1)(c)(i) of the Constitution relating to the realisation of the national values; the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations to speak on the Report submitted under Article 132(1)(c)(iii) of the Constitution relating to the progress made in fulfilling the international obligations of the Republic; and the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to speak on the Report submitted under Article 240(7) of the Constitution relating to the state of the security of the country; and five minutes for any other Member speaking, and that 10 minutes before the expiry of the time, the Mover shall be called upon to reply. As the House is aware, the Address by the President to this House is one of the most important functions in our calendar for each session. This Procedural Motion provides time for the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to speak on the reports submitted under Article 132(1) (c) (i) of the Constitution relating to the realisation of national values, as well as the Chairpersons of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations and the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. For the first time, this is now captured. You realise, that in the last session this was not provided for. So this is a very major change in terms of how we will be able to transact the Address by the President. The three reports which are usually tabled by the President during the State of the Nation Address are captured. That is why we are making a provision for various Chairs to be able to debate. With those few remarks, I move and ask Hon. Kimunya to second."
