    "content": "of time being spent. I appreciate that Members need, sometimes, bonga points, even if they are just giving thanks. This is because it is fashionable to be heard. These limitations contained herein do not, in any way, mean that the House cannot make appropriate adjustments. The Mover can be called upon to reply when in the opinion of everybody there has been sufficient debate on any particular Bill, Motion or report. But, of course, this does not mean that you cannot move an amendment to say that you sit until conclusion of business appearing on the Order Paper. The House does not necessarily have to adjourn at 7.00 p.m. in appropriate cases. This is what the HBC has really addressed itself to. On the issue of the many Private Members’ Bills which are pending at various stages, some before committees, I have said time and again that at the committee level, do not give instructions out there. I have seen some report today purporting that instructions were given by some committee. Bring a report here and it is the House that can give instructions. Not you sitting there and saying you will kill a Member’s Bill. This already begins to create a lot of unnecessary tension. Maybe, it is just one Member who is saying “we are going to kill”. Maybe this could explain why some Members do not appear before committee to make a decision if they have already been told while having tea out there that their Bill will be killed. Please, do not commit murder of Bills out there. Hon. Oundo."
