    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. This is a Procedural Motion. As you have seen, I came with two masks because I am entering the red zone. Hon. Speaker, as I second, this Motion is very important. But I would like to thank you and sincerely say that you are a true Leader and a true Speaker of the august House. A firm third-in- command and a mobile encyclopedia of our Constitution. The advice you gave in State House and the one you gave us today when we started this Session, cooled the tempers that have been building ever since those handlers in State House communicated the President’s directive. Hon. Speaker, most of these Members were coming here for war. But the way you handled us, all of us are here and we are really trying to do business because of your advice. We are saying that we will be having our online committee meetings which will take place in our offices. In the past, we have noticed that when we have committee meetings from wherever somebody is, network is a problem as some of us are on the roads, others in our cars and worse still, you would not want to see some pictures that come from the background. Sometimes, they really need parental control. Some committee meetings start as early as 8 a.m. At that time, some people are still in the bedrooms. When we set our phones, sometimes, we may not be able to see what is happening in the background. But those who are participating in the meeting can see. That is why we are saying that it is good that all these meetings will be in our offices where there is stable network connection, so that we do not see the maajabu that we have been seeing when we are attending those meetings. I also want to urge my colleagues to take the COVID-19 vaccination. The vaccine is safe. I took mine. Professionally, we have been able to kick several diseases out of the world courtesy of vaccinations. Diphtheria, whooping cough, polio and rubella are no longer with us. We have kicked them out of the world courtesy of vaccinations. We have been able to tame some diseases which used to be killer diseases like measles, courtesy of vaccinations. So, I urge Hon. Members The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
