    "content": "Finally, I was keenly listening to the debate on the earlier Motion. I agree with Hon. James Nyikal and Hon. Makali Mulu that we all have a duty and an obligation to listen to each other and have an opportunity to speak. Hon. Deputy Speaker, whenever any Member of the House calls on the Speaker to close debate and put the Question, it does not mean he is curtailing anybody else from speaking. If anything, it will be casting aspersions on the person of the Speaker or whoever is chairing a Sitting, to assume that any member who calls for closure of debate and the Speaker asks whether that is the mood of the House or not, that the Speaker is in anyway curtailing any Hon. Member from speaking. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I bear witness that in the past, I have not seen the Speaker, in any way, curtail Hon. Members, from whichever side of the political divide, from expressing themselves. Hon. Members are free to debate because this is a House of debate and therefore anyone and everybody should present themselves to debate."
