Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Appropriation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 11 of 2013) from 7 to 1 day.

As we all know, today ... view

We are also very grateful to have a bold President with a bold manifesto and I take this opportunity to thank His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta for giving us a very bold manifesto and an agenda that will help us going forward. view
