    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 20(2) this House orders that the sitting time of today’s sitting be extended until conclusion of business appearing on the Order Paper. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today we have scheduled the Appropriations Bill which goes through three sittings. As hon. Members will notice, it is just about 5.00 p.m. and ordinarily we would only have about one hour and a half to go. It is very important that Members have enough time to deliberate on the different stages especially in the Second Reading and the Committee of the whole House on this important matter. In addition, we also have a Motion on the constitution of the CDF Board which is very relevant to all of us. It would be important that we also dispose of that matter today so that the CDF Board can start operation and get the monies to the constituencies to keep moving. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the rationale of the House Business Committee (HBC) was that in the usual way, let us be generous with our time and dispose of the matters appearing on the Order Paper today. By the time we finish those Motions, we will then be proposing to the House that it will be time to take a break so that Members can also go and do some work in the constituencies and recharge their batteries ahead of the next tranche of Bills on the implementation of the Constitution following the energy that was shown last time round. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a request to the House in order for us to finish all the business we have and make a decision on the last item on the Order Paper in terms of the break that we all deserve to take and do other work in the constituencies, the details of which I will discuss at the point of moving that Motion."
