"content": "always be allocated time on a Wednesday for hon. Senators to articulate and prosecute interests that they have identified and brought to the House. Traditionally, for those who have been here a little longer like my friends Sen. Orengo, Sen. Wako and myself, debates on this Motion used to be unlimited for Movers and Seconders. Thanks to the late hon. Martin Shikuku who once addressed Parliament for one week on one issue, Parliament decided that to get Business moving, we should limit time for speaking. As we say, indeed, if you cannot make your point in two minutes, you are unlikely to make it in two hours. That is why we have this limitation. You can see these Motions are allocated only two hours. I am sure that once a Senator moves it, there will be as many divergent views and interests as we are. So, giving limited time of ten minutes per Senator is reasonable. It is adequate time and I think it will serve the interest of Senators in articulating their issues. With those few remarks, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
