    "content": "Hon. Speaker, away from the Statement, this last week has been very torturous for the Whips. This afternoon, I joined Hon. Mwenje and Hon. Naomi in whipping Members to come to the Chamber when you were already seated. At times, it is very embarrassing to leave you seated there and go and whip Members. You find some Members lying on seats in the Members' Lounge and others enjoying their meals. We all know the appointed time when the Speaker sits is 2.30 p.m. I know that towards the end of the year, people get fatigued. In the coming year, I pray that we will not keep the Speaker waiting at 2.30 p.m. or at 9.30 a.m., and that Members will not be sitting in the dining area entertaining guests or having their lunch waiting to be whipped. I plead that in the coming year, we all come back re-energised with renewed energy after Christmas. I believe we will have gained some weight. This year has been torturous, but Members have been very resilient. I thank all of them. In the new year, let us come with new energy so that we treat the business of the House with the dignity that it deserves and on time."
