Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that most of the reasons given for moving this Procedural Motion, or indeed, the counter arguments and arguments for it have already been covered under Order No.8. As you pointed out, some of my colleagues’ observations were even in anticipation of the Orders that had not been reached. I would like to move that we order the shortening of the publication period, now that the reasons are very well known.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, allow me to say that with regard to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, hon. George Nyamweya will know that the Leader of Government Business in the company of one of the whips, hon. Midiwo, actually had a sitting with the committee and tried to implore them that there was need to make progress. In fact, our instructions were, let the committee reconcile as expeditiously as possible, so that we do not continue to overburden the CIOC. We thought we would actually make progress, only thereafter to be told that there were utter disagreements, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as late as yesterday, we agreed that the Leader of Government Business will have to continue engaging with this committee so that we can make progress.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank my learned sister for that question. I want to assure the House that we are working very hard. We are even looking at possibilities of using private/public sector partnership in order to, once and for all, deal with this very shameful problem of prisons officers living under conditions that are clearly not acceptable. In the recent past, I have had occasion to go and actually open some of these newly constructed facilities, some put up under Rapid Results Initiative. Even as late as this morning, we were in consultations with the Housing Finance Company ...
