    "content": "No. 40(3), being a Wednesday Morning, a day allocated for business not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party, or business sponsored by a Committee. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the essence of my appeal to the House this morning is that Wednesday Morning is allocated for Private Members’ business. Cognisant of the fact that we only have today and tomorrow before we go on recess, and there is some very urgent business to transact, we thought it prudent to dispose of them now, then some in the afternoon and hopefully tomorrow. This is also while bearing in mind that there will be nominations affecting a whole section of this Parliament. Hence, we might have challenges. So, the earlier we dispose of some of these businesses, the better so people have time to concentrate on their nominations tomorrow. Hence, the appeal is that Members allow us to use part of the morning to transact that business and then revert back to the Private Members’ business. So, this is an issue of convenience. We also have been taking some of the Private Members’ issues in the afternoons, so it is a give and take. I want to appeal that you grant this wish so that we can dispose of some matters before us, which are relevant to all of us as we go into the elections. I also note that the Member for Mavoko is leaving us, after having taken our time. I wish he could stay so that we can transact business together. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move and ask the Majority Whip to second."
