    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I remember in the past we have had cases where this House has voted on mega scandals. The Goldenberg scandal was approved by this House. So, I would urge that hon. Members consider taking their time, especially in the Committee of Supply; we should take time and debate it thoroughly. I want to inform my colleagues that it is not the number of hon. Members who contribute to a Motion--- Not all of us can contribute to all Motions. Actually, if we want to utilise our time efficiently and effectively, as has been proposed, then we should leave various professionals to contribute to different Motions and Bills. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I listened to my friend, hon. Anyango, talking about efficiency and how we need to use time to avoid idleness, and I wondered because I was timing and found that on a Procedural Motion we spent close to seven minutes. If on a Procedural Motion we could be that inefficient, how then would you expect us to be more efficient when we are debating a substantive Motion – a Motion that has effects, especially on the Committee of Supply? This is a Motion that has the effect of giving a Ministry, money to run for 12 months. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I urge this House, especially on this matter, to reconsider the way we have been handling the other Motions; this time accept my line of argument and get some support from my colleagues. I beg my colleagues to oppose this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir"
