    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to contribute to this Motion. While I support the Motion, I would also like to echo the sentiments that the time allocated is not enough. My concern is the overall time of two hours. Mr. Speaker, as much as our experience in the last Parliament and so on, has been quoted, we used to have in the National Assembly something called “Question Time”. We used to limit the time on a Wednesday morning for Private Members’ Motions. We would start at 9.00 a.m. with Question Time until 10.00 a.m., then we had two hours for Private Members Motions. So, there was very little time left for the Mover to reply. So, my amendment again – I do not know at what stage maybe these amendments would be allowed – is that instead of two hours, we say three hours, so that will cover the whole of that Wednesday morning. But I do not think I quite agree with my colleague from Homa Bay that ten minutes is very little. In my view, I think we need to give more time to the Mover and then the Senators can chip in 10 minutes so that we accommodate more Senators. This is because with this kind of Motion we will be having only one session and that is all. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support."
