"content": " Hon. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate you and hon. Deputy Speaker. I think it is also in order to congratulate the Speaker and Deputy of the Senate and all the officials in this Parliament, or Members of Parliament who have been given positions. I observed in the last time that a lot of research and work by Members of Parliament on various Motions is lost because they rarely get opportunity because of the longevity of contributions by a few hon. Members. So, it will be in order that we support this Motion; it is possible to make your points in the five or ten minutes allocated. The other spirit that is encouraged here is networking. I remember we had a caucus where if one stood - Mr. ole Katoo was a member of that caucus and our Majority Party whip - and he remained with very important points, you could donate them to your colleagues across the Floor, so that they could also improve on the points they had and get where they had prepared to be. Lastly, during our induction, one point that was raised, and which I believe this Chair is going to crack the whip very strongly on, is the misuse of time by way of frivolous points of order. People rise on points of order not because there is anything out of order but to disagree with their colleagues. I am in agreement with what Ms. Abdalla said; it is also important for us to recover; the party is gone. This is a new Parliament, a new dispensation; so Mr. Ngâongo is welcome to walk the journey."
