    "content": "within the precincts of Parliament. Therefore, it will be possible to even provide supper, if necessary, so that we can be seen by our constituents to be discharging our full responsibility to ensure that we enact these pieces of legislation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, in order that, as a leader, I recognise that Members have been ready but we, the Executive, as a result of those consultations, have not been able to be as forthcoming as hon. Members would have expected. In fact, hon. Members would say that they have been actually ready and willing to pass these Bills but, as I said, we have taken a bit of time. This is all to be taken in the spirit with which it is presented, and an apology may be in order, if there have been Members of Parliament who feel that the Executive has not been able to meet them halfway. Therefore, I want to suggest humbly that we commit ourselves. We even recommended that this House will sit until Friday. I will be coming tomorrow to move that. For today, I thank the Member for Ikolomani who is a Member of the House Business Committee (HBC) because he knows that we looked at this matter with the seriousness that it deserves. We do not want this country for one moment to feel that this House has been wanting when it comes to the matter of full implementation of our Constitution. I beg to move. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Abdikadir came as a guest to the HBC; I want to thank the Abdikadir Committee, if he can accept that wording, because they have been burning the midnight oil literally. We found consultations with the Committee absolutely wonderful and phenomenal. I think this is why we can now as a House speak with one voice. I kindly request Mr. Abdikadir to second this Motion."
