"content": "The SBC, concerned of the fact that we have a backlog of Bills at various stages of processing, has made a very strong decision that we must go back to what we call the “Statements Hour”. The Statements Hour should not exceed 4.00 p.m. We have six Statements under Standing Order 47(1) and another eight Statements under Standing Order 48(1). I would like us to go by the resolution of the Senate Business Committee and stop at 4.00 p.m. To be fair to yourselves and your colleagues who have Statements listed in the Order Paper, I will allow only four comments on each of the Statements. I will give the four Members a chance to speak on a first-come first-served basis. The four Members who will be given a chance to speak should only speak to the content of the Statement without overriding. Each Member will have three minutes each to speak. I would like us to spend less than 10 minutes on a statement. We have 80 minutes before 4.00 p.m. That means that we can deal with at least eight Statements. I am aware that there are some Statements where we will need less than four Members to comment on them. Hon. Members, I appeal to you to go through the Order Paper and choose wisely which statement you would like to make a comment on. We shall have four Members speaking on each Statement, but in the very best intentions, I may reduce the number of Members to speak, from four to two depending on the Statement. What is your point of order, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.?"
