    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. For this type of Motion, the time that is allocated is quite adequate because it is a Motion where we will be discussing whether we should adjourn the House or not. So, it is not the kind of Motion where we will be going into some very serious technical issues. For me, the time indicated is quite adequate. Hon. Speaker, since you have assured us that you will ensure that everybody has a fair chance of speaking, and that you will not go the ranking way, I am quite happy. The only thing I would want to add is that the House Business Committee should ensure that it gets its priorities right, particularly when we have very critical and disturbing issues in the country such as matters of food shortages like what we are experiencing at the moment; matters of security and other key areas of concern. The issue of security and other areas of concern should be prioritized, brought to the House and given adequate time because after all, hon. Speaker, you also have the discretion - and I have seen you exercise it - to allow more time for debate when the need has arisen, including well beyond the limited time that ends at 6.30 p.m. Maybe, that gives me comfort that based on your own discretion, you will always create time for Members to contribute. Hon. Speaker, I support."
