    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is important for Members to know that on Thursday last week, you gave me permission to table my Report before the rise of the House. I was ready to do so, except that some Members, including Hon. Makali Mulu and the Member for Seme, absented themselves from the House and, therefore, the House adjourned for lack of quorum. I was ready to table the Report at 5.00 O’clock. We cannot allow them to come back and say that they have not read the Report. As we speak, copies of the Report are available in Table Office. If someone wants to read, it is available. It is important to listen to what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. We passed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill on an express highway. People were driving at over 120Km/h, when the limit was supposed to be 100 km/h. People absconded their duties to be law makers and passed it without amendments. Now there is a requirement that the selection panel must be in place. It should have been in place last week, except for the absence of the Chief Justice. The same people who were saying “no amendments”, are the same ones who are now saying we hold the Chief Justice as we hold the selection panel. Since I am rising on a point of order, would I be in order, under Standing Order No. 9, to request you to put the Question, so that we can expedite this process in light of the desire of the majority of Members? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
