    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, the following limitation shall be applied to the Business of the Annual Estimates:- i. The debate on the Financial Statement on the Annual Estimates shall be limited to three days exclusive of the Mover’s Speech and reply pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 148(2). ii. Each Speech in the debate on the Financial Statement of the Annual Estimates shall be limited to ten minutes, excluding the Mover’s Speech and reply, which shall not be limited and the Chairperson of the Budget Committee who shall be limited to thirty minutes. iii. On the Motion “THAT, Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair” to enable Ministers to initiate debate on policy, the Mover shall be limited to a total of thirty minutes, twenty minutes for moving and ten minutes for replying to the debate; fifteen minutes to the Chairperson of the relevant Departmental Committee and that each other Member speaking shall be limited to five minutes; provided that one hour before the Question of the Vote is put, the House shall go into Committee and the Chairman shall put every question necessary to dispose of the Vote. iv. Each speech in Committee of Ways and Means shall be limited to ten minutes and that debate in Committee of Supply to five minutes. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is procedural. As I had started to say, the new Standing Order No.148 (2) states that the debate on the Financial Statement on the Annual Estimate shall be limited to three days exclusive of the Mover’s speech and reply. As you know, we used to have seven days to respond to this Speech. Beyond the third day, hon. Members were actually being repetitive. More often than not, we had the technical issue of disinterest. So, when we revised the Standing Orders, hon. Members were of the view that it be reduced to three days. That is just procedural."
