"content": "The debate on the Former President of Tanzania John Pombe Magufuli is not something that we want to do without sufficient decorum and have a proper debate for those who wanted to contribute on this matter. They are quite a number. We have been waiting here. We only have 30 minutes for somebody to move and second. We took the device of a Motion so that at the end of the debate, the record and the HANSARD will be handed over to the Tanzanian High Commission. Although we have one day for two sittings, I propose that we defer the debate on the Motion of the Late President of Tanzania to next week. I have been sitting here pleading that this was a matter that we needed to discuss properly. However, seeing what happened in Tanzania, how the Members of Parliament debated on this issue informally, I think if they see us rush and act as if we do not know the former President, I do not think we will be doing it the greatest honour. Therefore, I urge you to administratively defer this debate to next week. I know that by then the President will have been buried, but it will not be too late to do it with dignity."
