    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.30(3)(b), this House resolves to hold a morning sitting on Thursday, 2nd December, 2021, commencing at 9.30 a.m. for purposes of considering priority business ahead of the December recess. Hon. Members, you are aware that next week, we have one day, Tuesday being taken by the State of the Nation Address. Thereafter on Wednesday, we will have some debate on the State of the Nation Address. We still have a lot of business on the Order Paper. So, when we discussed in the House Business Committee, we thought we could appeal to you Members that we take advantage of the morning sitting to process some of the issues that are at various stages. Some are at the Committee of the whole House, and we could do them before we go on recess rather than wait until January, so that they can at least move to the next level. I know we really appealed to you to extend sitting time to nine o’clock. It has worked wonderfully. I expected that we would never make it in the sitting to nine o’clock, but it has been working. The House has been full throughout, with very rich debate in the evenings. If you agree, on Thursday next week, we will start at 9.30 a.m. and continue all the way to 9.00 p.m. Obviously, when Members attend, they are at liberty to come and prosecute their business and also do other businesses. By the time we leave for the recess at 9.00 p.m. on Thursday night, we will have, at least, covered most of the things that are on the priority list and need to be sorted out. That is the appeal to the House. I beg to move and request my predecessor, Hon. Duale, to second."
