The House had lined up 14 motions and four private members' bills for debate on the Order Paper, a paper containing a schedule of business to be transacted in the House. The other was the Cancer Prevention and Control (Amendment) Bill, 2022; a bill co-sponsored by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei. Other bills at the second reading stage to be considered were the three Nadco Report Bills, including The Political Parties (Amendment) Bill and The Election Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which are at the division stage, as well as The Elections (Amendment) Bill, 2024. The latest quorum hitch could be an indication that what directly affects the people is the least of MPs' concerns. On September 18 this year, Senator Cheruiyot took issue with the early adjournment of Parliament due to quorum hitches.
