    "content": "Hon. Speaker, when you will be considering them, you should also put in mind the fact that we were here before the recess and rarely did we have a full House even though the COVID- 19 rules were in place. That means that even the protocols you had put in place in the National Assembly have been overtaken by events such that, at no given time before we went on recess was the House full. When making the decision, Hon. Speaker, have in mind that the tents that were pitched out there to provide extra sitting space are no longer there and nobody thinks about them. That also includes the space outside the Chamber. It means that somewhat we are unable to accommodate the Members who are available. Given that we are approaching elections and there are times when certain decisions may have to be taken here where everybody has to participate, I propose, Hon. Speaker, that kindly retain the health protocols but, at the same time, open the House to all Members so that there is no excuse from anyone, especially when we will be dealing with the Bill on petroleum. You know one might say that one could not enter the House because of the COVID-19 protocols."
