    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion. THAT pursuant to Standing Order No.18 and Article 107(1)(c) of the Constitution the House elects Sen. Peter Mositet to preside over sittings of the Senate starting with the reminder of today’s sitting until revoked. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have already said, Members would notice that from the Speaker’s Panel, there is only one Member and that is the Deputy Speaker who has been sitting since 2.30 p.m. He is a human being. It is only proper that he gets time to refresh. Secondly, when we go into Committee of the whole we will require a person, other than the Deputy Speaker to report the findings of the Committee. So, that makes it important to have another person. Sen. Mositet has done this before. He is one of the people alongside Sen. (Dr.) Machage, on the other side, who have done a good job. I do not think we have had a problem with anybody who has occupied that Chair in this House. With those few remarks and in that context, I beg to move the Motion. In the tradition of cordiality, brotherhood, bipartisan approach and maturity of the Senate, I request my good friend, the Leader of Minority, Sen. Wetangula to second. He is my senior outside there, but my junior inside here."
