    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 100 (4), the debate on any Motion for the adjournment of the Senate to a day other than the next normal sitting day in accordance with the calendar of the Senate shall be limited to a maximum of two hours with not more than fifteen minutes for each Senator speaking after which the Senate shall adjourn without question put; provided that when the period of recess proposed by any such Motion does not exceed nine calendar days, the debate shall be limited to a maximum of thirty (30) minutes, and shall be confined to the question of adjournment. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just as the previous Motion, which this House has just passed, this is a Procedural Motion on the issue of adjournment. Traditionally, the time is limited to two hours when the Senate is adjourning for a period of time, that is, more than a day. The Senate then adjourns without question being put. If the adjournment is less than nine days, the debate should not take more than 30 minutes, each Senator getting 15 minutes. However, the House has a way of limiting that time through a resolution to even one or two. This is just for procedure purposes. It is a general case but debates of specific Motion may even have more or less time depending on the number of speakers available. Without much ado, I beg to move and request the Senate Minority Leader to second."
