    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 33 and notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 97(1) on Limitation of Debate on Motions, this House resolves to extend its Sitting time today, Thursday, 13th October 2022 until 9.00 p.m. The gist of this Motion is to allow many Members to contribute, as we move to the next Motion which is Order No.9 by Hon. Elsie Muhanda. All our new Members and those who have not spoken will have an opportunity to contribute before we go on recess. It will be very unfair for a new Member or a Member who has been re-elected to go back home during the recess without getting the chance to stand in the House where people elected you to come, and at least, thank them on national television. If the House agrees to extend the Sitting today up to 9.00 p.m., it will be a good opportunity. If Members manage time and we finish before that time, it will not matter. At least, nobody will be locked out because we have about two-and-a half hours. If Members contribute for 10 minutes, you can count the number of Members who will speak. There are very many Members who have not spoken. Therefore, I just wanted to move that Motion and request the House to agree with me to extend the Sitting up to 9.00 p.m. Everybody will have opportunity to speak. As we take our short recess, you will not be blamed that you came to the House, but you did not speak. It is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
