    "content": "Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I thank my brother, the Senate Minority Leader for rising on a point of order, articulating it well and trying to justify why he thought, for instance, that we should not be here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, so that I do not fall into the trap of Sen. Murkomen, now that the Senate Minority Leader was given a bit of time, I request for a few more minutes - five or six minutes will do. I need to respond to each of the issues he raised. First, it is true that most of the time when we have Special Sittings we consult, but it is not law, it is a custom. However, on this particular case - I say so with a lot of respect - the agenda is divisive. We had tried very hard to build consensus with our colleagues on the Minority side and it was practically impossible. That is the only reason I did not call Sen. Wetangula because he had told me he would never approve or support what I want; which is his democratic right. So, that is the reason I did not call him."
