Because we have over 15 Bills; both public and private, and we have only 14 days, or about 80 sitting hours of the House remaining before this year’s session ends, we agreed to fast-track and maybe dispose of the Bills. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, of course the Media Council Bill is a very important constitutional Bill. It has a constitutional timeline, under the Sixth Schedule. Last time we extended time by three months; we have realized that we should give it priority this morning; because of its nature, hon. Members should get time to ventilate on it. Again, I would ask all the stakeholders and hon. Members of this House to prepare the relevant amendments to this very important Media Council Bill. I beg to move and ask hon. Washiali to second."}
