    "content": "Very well. Hon. Members, before we come to the end of this Order, you will notice that the way we have conducted the session under Order No.6 has not been quite satisfactory. A lot of hon. Members have used their time to narrate stories. Some have used their time to debate. Some have used their time to engage in arguments. I want to ask all hon. Members, including Ministers, to endeavour to acquaint themselves with contents of the whole of Part XII of the Standing Orders. Please, get time to go and read it because we intend, during the sitting this time round, to strictly apply Part XII. All of us who sit on the Chair and preside over business will apply this part very strictly, so that Question Time is for Questions. We want to live within the timelines provided, which is one hour for every Question Time session. So, hon. Members must ensure that they ask questions precisely, avoid telling stories and avoid debate. Similarly, Ministers must answer Questions. They must provide answers which are concise, precise and in summary form. We will not allow a Minister to take 10 minutes to just supply an answer. So, please, bear that in mind because that is where we will go; we have a heavy programme. We have many Bills which must be deliberated on in this House before 27th August, 2011. All hon. Members know what that means. It is actually a matter of life and death. So, all of us will have to co-operate. Thank you."
