    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 100 (1), the Senate resolves that debate on a Motion not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party or a Committee shall be limited in the following manner:- A maximum of three hours with not more than 20 minutes for the Mover, 20 minutes for the Majority Party Official Responder, 20 minutes for the Minority Party Official Responder and 15 minutes for each other Senator speaking and that 15 minutes before the time expires, the Mover shall be called upon to reply. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a straight-forward Procedural Motion. I do not want to belabour it. Every Session, we have made resolutions in this House on limitation of time so that as many Senators as possible can debate. As usual in our tradition, we allow a little more time for the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Mover of that Motion. Otherwise, this is something we have done before. I do not want to belabour it. It is just to ensure that as many Senators as possible debate on a matter. Therefore, without much ado, I beg to move. My seconder is busy somewhere. I do not know whether you can call Sen. Wetangula to order so that he can second this Motion. It is a procedural Motion on limitation of time for debate. It is the usual way, 20 minutes for the official responder Majority Party, 20 minutes official responder and 15 minutes for other Senators."
