    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You cannot just put the Question on such a Motion because yesterday, we extended the timings for tomorrow and the day after. The Leader of the Majority Party cannot belabour this House with business from the Executive while ignoring Members' business when Wednesday is meant for Members' business. The Order Paper has several Motions that have been there. Why should we exempt business that was already planned for Thursday morning? We also have a Sitting on Friday! Why ignore the business for today? Today, we have a voting exercise for several committees. Why bring such business when you know we will be stepping out to vote? I oppose this Procedural Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party because it is not a priority. This is the day we are meant to discuss Members' business. I want to remind him that the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Bill was a Private Member's Bill. This is a very important and sacred time for the private matters of this House. The Leader of the Majority Party can conduct his business in the afternoon. We have already approved the business for tomorrow. We can proceed with the business for today. Therefore, I oppose the Motion before the House. It should not see the light of the day because it is not even important. I do not understand the speed at which they are pushing this. Thank you."
