    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Procedural Motion. We have had it in this House before. I want to urge that being a Procedural Motion, as we have business ahead of us, we should not belabour the points. This timing of Motions has been there and has helped this House to run in an orderly manner. I hope that when it comes to debate, Members will be focused and will address the real issues so that the points they have are recorded in the HANSARD for the prosperity of this Senate and the country. I hope that both sides of the House will, in many matters that affect this country, approach debate in a bi-partisan manner without unhelpful and irrelevant side shows that do not enhance the role of the Senate. I want to encourage Senators to avoid unhelpful polemics in debate and deal with issues that are relevant to Motions. I want to congratulate Members who have given Notices of Motions here that will be governed by this Procedural Motion. Most of them reflect serious industry in the manner in which Senators are approaching the matters. I have noted the one by Sen. (Prof). Lonyangapuo and the one by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale which really touches me because as you know, I was one of the few lawyers, at that time, who had the courage to represent the coup plotters and executioners in 1982 that have since been hanged or been left to languish in poverty. That Motion will go a long way. I am not anticipating debate. However, when we see such pro-people industry coming from the Senate, you feel happy to be here. I hope The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
