"content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): It is not true to argue that time has not been defined. It has been. The only problem is that the end time was not defined and even if so, ordinarily the day will end at midnight. Secondly, on the definition of what a Sitting is which Sen.Orengo has really struggled to find a rationale for trying to nullify this afternoon’s proceedings, the last part of the standing order No.2, if you allow me just to read again says:- “But two or more periods of siting within the normal period of one sitting” The normal period of one sitting today, when the end time was not given, ends at midnight. It cannot end before midnight unless the Gazette Notice had said it is from 10.00 a.m. to 1.00p.m. or to 12:30.p.m. So, it is as simple as that, and I beg you and I urge our colleagues not to lose the focus that we started this Sitting with in the morning. This is because we made a lot of very persuasive remarks about how this House looks at the bigger picture and cannot subvert substance with technicalities. I beg that you rule on this one because Sen.Orengo alone has taken over 30 minutes speaking on one point."
