    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, getting two thirds of Members of any House of Parliament anywhere in the world is a very difficult thing. It is not that colleagues are not committed. As you are aware, many things go at the same time. There are committees that are working, some are abroad, etcetera . So, we must go out of our way to make a special case for turn up. For that reason, I would suggest if the House allows that we set a date maybe a week or two from now and we whip towards that. If we say Tuesday, next week, we cannot be sure. I would rather we say two weeks and then we whip our Members towards that day. I am aware there are some committees which are travelling out of the country even next week. So, we need two weeks. We go out of our way to whip Members to come for that special day. Otherwise, it is not very easy to deliver two thirds."
