    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the concern you have for us especially those of us who have been waiting for long to contribute. However, I would really just want to encourage that this is a debating House and I am seeing a growing trend that we keep rushing Bills because of one day or a few minutes. Unless there is a specific constitutional or legal timeline which I am not aware of, it is okay if we come and debate it on Tuesday so that we do not have this business of rushing Bills. Sometimes we come here and we are told that the time has been reduced to three minutes. There is nothing serious to talk about in three minutes. So, we should just be extending the normal time to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so long as we have the time. During the days of hon. Shikuku, I am told he used to contribute for 20 hours. Just imagine one person doing that and now we have reduced it to ten minutes. So, really let us not reduce the debating time, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
