    "content": "Hon. Members, before we go to the next Order, let me just make this point clear, because even when I am not on the Chair, I still follow proceedings. I know the Motion that is before the House but I have heard hon. Members claim that they have sat here from 2.30 p.m. and up to 5.00 p.m. they have not been recognized. That may well be so but some of you who arrive at about 3.00 p.m. think that they arrived too early, forgetting that when you arrived, you found others. Remember, I want to make this announcement going forward that right now I have 89 requests. You should apply the cliché that the early bird catches the worm. But even as we follow that, it is fair that I make this known, so that you do not get annoyed at times when you see presiding officers do certain things. Now, the requests are 92. Even as we follow that cliché of the early bird catches the worm, remember that presiding officers are also required, by tradition and practice in a House such as ours, to ensure fair distribution. I am sure you know that your presiding officers know this country very well. So, when you sit next to a person from your county, you must know that you almost disadvantage yourself."
