    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think the Leader of Minority is within his rights to make such a request, but I want to, vehemently, oppose it. Hon. Speaker, as I indicated in my Statement, all Members put a lot of time in their respective committees vetting the Principal Secretary nominees. As I indicated during the morning session, a Government that does not have substantive accounting officers in office is dysfunctional. We must appreciate that the Principal Secretaries who are leaving office are waiting to hand over. The outgoing Principal Secretaries are eager to leave office because they want to move on with their lives. It is only fair that we conclude the business listed in the Order Paper as Special Motions for approval of the Principal Secretary nominee. There is no rush. If the Leader of the Minority Party had bothered to look at the first Procedural Motion under Order No. 8, he should have realised that is about extension of the sitting of the House until conclusion of the business listed on the Order Paper. Therefore, I seek his indulgence. I request him to stay in the House. We will certainly get to Order No. 33 and do justice to it. We will also do justice to all the other Motions listed on the Order Paper since we are not in a hurry to go anywhere. Today being the last day of this session, if need be, we will take a short break and resume to conclude the business. Hon. Speaker, with all due respect, I request the Leader of the Minority Party to allow us to proceed as indicated on the Order Paper."
