    "content": " Mr. Clerk, while I agree with my colleagues, hon. Olago, Eng. Gumbo and hon. Namwamba, it seems that all of us have the same concern. I found nothing in Standing Order No.3 that would stop you from following it and modifying it a little bit for the sake of good order. Assuming it takes two minutes to swear in each Member of this Assembly, it will take us 12 hours to do it. So, if you could follow the alphabetical order and take us in batches of five, you will assume the same thing even if you followed the Standing Order that says order of seniority. I am talking for those people who have not been here three times like I or five times like others. For instance, I will be sworn in within the next 30 minutes, but think of your neighbour in a way that we can do this. We still have the election of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker at the end of it all. So, something in between would be good. If you took five or ten Members, but use the order stipulated in the Standing Orders, you will divide that length of time in half or quarter and we will achieve a lot. Nothing stops us from doing that."
