    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(c), this House resolves to hold a Morning Sitting on Tuesday, 25th June 2024, commencing at 9.30 a.m. for purposes of considering priority business. Hon. Members, you realise that we have very crucial business ahead of us today, the top among them being the continuation of the Finance Bill. I must thank Generation Zoomers because, for the first time in the history of this House, especially the 13th Parliament, more than 50 Members were already logged in at 8.30 a.m. The Generation Zoomers have made Members of Parliament to report to work very early. It is a good thing. It is the beauty of our democracy. Now that we reported early to contribute to the Finance Bill, I am certain that given the numbers, we may not have enough time to finish the debate on the Bill today and move on to the IEBC amendments from the Senate. Hon. Members understand how crucial that business is. We want to ensure that we have adequate time to complete the Committee of the whole House on the Finance Bill next week, without anticipating debate and also consider the IEBC amendments from the Senate before we proceed to the short recess that is due the following week. You are aware next week is the last week of this month and we ought to pass both the Finance Bill and the Appropriations Bill which is also lined up for next week. I will be speaking to it later this afternoon during the usual Thursday Statement. I also wish to appeal to Hon. Members to support so that we have adequate time to process all this business. I beg to move and request the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party to second."
