    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second the Procedural Motion, but invite any Member who is interested to move an amendment to give more time to a Member who seeks a Motion for Adjournment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we are setting the time, we must not be oblivious to the needs of Members. I say this with regret because these Motions were not tabled before the Rules and Business Committee yesterday for us to go through them. I have said this in the Rules and Business Committee meeting. If a Member comes here to raise a pressing issue in their constituency or county, to give notice of motion for adjournment of the House to debate such an issue, you cannot possibly move such a Motion in five minutes. It is simply not possible. If Dr. Khalwale’s bulls have been rustled and he has to bring an issue here, we must give him time to build the story and convince the Members, so that they support. If Sen. Murkomen is caught up in the many contradictions in his life and he wants a Motion for adjournment, we need to give him time to prosecute his story. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to urge any Member who is interested, as I second the Motion, to move an amendment such that the Mover of the Motion for adjournment be given a minimum of ten minutes and the respondent Chair of a Committee, Senate Leader of Majority or any other responsible respondent is given another ten minutes, so that issues can be addressed adequately. I beg to second."
