    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving this opportunity to contribute to this Procedural Motion. This Motion is good. We want to allow the Mover of the Report 60 minutes. This is because we require quality reports that are well researched, detailed and, probably, very accurate. You understand that, as a result of the current Constitution, Ministers do not appear in this House. Therefore, we expect reports generated by Committees to be very accurate so that we can discuss them. We need to speak to those reports. I would like to urge hon. Members that when they get time, they should summarize whatever they have. Let us avoid story telling; let us be very relevant. This is because this Motion is setting the maximum and we are not setting the limit. So, when we say that a Member will get a maximum of ten minutes to speak to a Motion, you could as well take three minutes and pass your message well. So, I want to believe that if each one of us can summarize whatever he or she has, we will have ample time for Members to speak to Motions. Hon. Speaker, when we go out there to meet our constituents, sometimes, they marvel whether we are in this House or not and yet, we sit here from morning to evening at 6.00 p.m. We are not seen to be speaking to Motions and yet, it is not our wish. I want to humbly request you, hon. Speaker, that this time round, you change the tactics. Let us leave out those who are known all the time. Please, give room to those who rarely speak in this House like hon. Rop, so that people can also know that I am there. You know, you can press this button and then sit the whole day without getting a chance and yet, hon. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
