    "content": "Hon. Members, you know we are making laws. I get surprised when we get to the most critical Bill, I then see hon. Members walking out. I wonder whether they have finished their most important session. Hon. Members, remember some time when the Bill was introduced for the First Reading, the Insolvency Bill 2014, National Assembly Bill No.15 and the Companies Bill, National Assembly Bill No.16. I could ask the Clerk to give me the two Bills. Hon. Members, I indicated that it was fair that each one of us reads these Bills. This is a copy of the Insolvency Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 15 of 2014). I have decided to raise it so that, at least, we appreciate the points being made by hon. (Eng) Nicolas Gumbo, which, first of all, I was informing you that he did well to write to me on 28th May this year, specifically on the Insolvency Bill, which we are dealing with. Hon. (Eng) Gumbo indicated that he was going to move in this House, under Standing Order 94(4), that each speech on the debate on the Insolvency Bill 2014 be limited in the following manner: a maximum of one hour (1) and twenty (20) minutes for the Mover in moving, and sixty (60) minutes in replying. That is a total of 180 minutes; and a maximum of ninety (90) minutes for any other member speaking, except the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of Minority Party, who shall be limited to a maximum of one (1) hour and five (5) minutes each and that priority be accorded to the Leader of Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, in that order. Hon. Members, I have taken the liberty to read out loudly this letter by the hon. (Eng) Gumbo. Indeed, I want to thank him for having drawn my attention to this matter. We can now ask him to prosecute his application. I want to confirm to you that he is within our Standing Orders to do so. Over to you, hon. (Eng) Gumbo!"
