    "content": "Chair and my brother the Senate Majority Leader, that since the matter was referred to the Committee which is busy preparing a Report of whatever nature, it will be desirable that we give the Committee an opportunity to bring the Report that will inform debate in the House. This is because at the end of the day, the reason we referred this matter to the Committee was for them to go through technical details, carry out public hearings and bring a Report that may assist this House in arriving at a rational or otherwise decision that will help the country. I, therefore, want to urge that since I have seen the Committee sitting in a Committee room opposite your office, it will be desirable to find out how much time they require and it will not be asking too much to request you to stay this proceedings for an hour or so, as we await this Report so that Members can go through the Report and see how we can debate this matter. I say this because if the SenateMajority Leader moves theBill and I come and debate on the Bill as is where is and then the Report comes and has something different, the rules of the House will not allow me to come and comment on the content of the Report. I would want us to have an opportunity to deal with both the Bill and the Report as brought by our Committee so that it makes things easier and more orderly and can help the House in arriving at whatever decision we may want to make."
