    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was looking at the provisions of Standing Order No.24; it requires that the debate on the thanks of the House for the President’s Speech should be for a maximum of four sitting days, but that does not mean that we cannot do it for fewer days than that. I would have taken advantage of the Standing Order No.97, but I was late, because it requires that we could ask for limitation of debate, and this should have happened before we resumed debate on this particular Motion, I urge that you use the Standing Order No.1 and have the debate concluded. The way I see this House it is like we are unanimous. Given that we still have two other reports that will enable us to debate the President’s Speech, namely the report on security and the report on international obligations, I urge that for better use of the time of this House, those of us who probably have not contributed wait to contribute to these reports. Anyway, we are discussing things that we would have discussed when discussing the substantive reports that are given to the House by the President. So, based on that, I am requesting that you use the Standing Order No.1 and limit the debate on this Motion. That can be done. There is nothing that requires that we have to have four full sitting days."
