On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Let us be fair to everyone. According to the Speaker’s ruling on Tuesday, the Bill that was coming for Third Reading was supposed to be the County Governments Bill. Indeed the Speaker directed that we should file our proposed amendments by 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, which we complied with. The County Governments Bill is the one that should come for Third Reading.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Motion that is before this House, you will see that if we go into Committee of the whole House before 11.00 p.m., it is possible for us to complete the devolution Bills and start debate on any of the two land Bills. I believe in the industry of this House. Every time we have been called upon to meet deadlines, it has been possible. This House has always risen to that occasion.

We can finish this process because we owe it to the ...
