    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 97(1) and notwithstanding the resolution of the House of February 18, 2020, this House further resolves that during the Sittings of the House from June 4th, 2020 to July 2nd, 2020, each speech in debate on Bills, Motions (including Special Motions), Sessional Papers and Committee Reports, shall be limited as follows: a maximum of two hours with not more than 10 minutes for the Mover in moving and five minutes in replying and a maximum of five minutes for any other Member speaking, except for the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Chairperson of the relevant Committee who shall be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes, and that priority in speaking be accorded to the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and Chairperson of the relevant Committee, in that order. Provided that the resolution shall not apply to the Second Reading of the Finance Bill, 2020, debate on the Budget Estimates and the Committee of Supply for the Financial Year 2020/2021. The House Business Committee (HBC), under your chair, felt that because of the situation we are in, we create time limits for Bills and Motions, give more Members time to speak and reduce the time which was being given to the Mover and the Seconder except for three items which are important to Kenyans, namely, the Finance Bill, the Budget Estimates and the Committee of Supply for the Financial Year 2020/2021. This is only for the period between Thursday this week and July 2nd when we shall go for our short recess if the House agrees on the Calendar. This is a Procedural Motion before us, which is meant to guide the House on the manner in which debate will be carried out and seeks to set timelines for Members contributing before the House. I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party, who is a Member of the HBC, to second."
