    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Ordinarily, I would not have a problem with Motions like these and I would support them. However, when the Leader of the Majority Party calls for an extra sitting, he should tell us the business that will be transacted during that sitting. What I have heard from the Leader of the Majority Party is an anticipatory Motion, something that has not even been concluded by committees. How sure are we that committees will conclude vetting Principal Secretaries so that we can agree to hold a Thursday morning sitting? We have previously held special sittings. For us not to appear like a House that rubberstamps what the Executive sends to us, let us give committees time to finish their work. If the Leader of the Majority Party feels that we are pressed for time, there can be a special sitting. These Members are ready to come. In fact, we have held sittings on ungodly days such as on 24th December. In 2014, we were recalled on 18th December to hold a special sitting to approve the Security Laws (Amendment) Bill. That is not a day one can forget. It was a very bad day."
