    "content": " As I second, I wanted to bring it to your attention that this Procedural Motion was introduced to this House around 2014 or 2015. I was here. It was to make the work of the Executive easy. As a long-serving Member of Parliament, you know that vetting of appointments never used to happen before the new Constitution came into place. A time arose when appointments were made when we were either on a Short Recess or on a Long Recess. Then, the Executive felt that Parliament was wasting its time. They persuaded Parliament to do these kinds of Procedural Motions. As you know very well, we have provisions in the Standing Order for a Special Sitting. If something is important or urgent, we have a provision in the Standing Order that says that the Speaker can reconvene the House. If there are one or two appointments that are of an important and urgent nature, there is no harm in reconvening the House to sit and deliberate on them. It is not right for appointments to come through the Speaker to the Floor of the House in Communication."
