    "content": "Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, who shall be limited to a maximum of fifteen (15) minutes each, and that ten (10) minutes before the expiry of the time, the Mover shall be called upon to reply, and further that priority in speaking shall be accorded to the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party in that order. Hon. Speaker, this is the only business we have this morning. The Procedural Motion is a proposal to set limitation of debate for the two Motions listed in the afternoon’s Order Paper. Informed by the resolution of the House on 10th February, 2016, and pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.97(1), I propose that the first Motion takes a maximum of two hours from 2.30 p.m. this afternoon. In my proposal, you will realise that all Members will speak for five minutes each, including my colleague, the Leader of the Minority Party and myself during debate on the Motion for the consideration of the nominee for appointment as the Chairperson of the EACC. I also propose that the second Motion takes a maximum of four hours. My assumption is that if we start business at 2.30 p.m., we would have concluded the first Motion by 4.30 p.m. Thereafter, we will begin debate on the second Motion from 4.30 p.m. up to 8.00 p.m. or 8.30 p.m. to give Members an opportunity to interrogate that matter. In this regard, the Procedural Motion is purely for time management. Why are we allocating four hours? This is because the second Motion is important to the country. We felt that we can give Members a chance to read the reports of the Committee for both motions between now and the afternoon. Once we are back at 2.30 p.m., I will ask our colleagues to persevere with us and sit until 8.00 p.m. so that each and every one of us gets an opportunity to speak to both motions. I beg to move and ask Hon--- In terms of seniority, I do not know whether I should call the Chief Whip of the Minority Party or his deputy because both of them want to speak. I will follow the Standing Orders and ask Hon. Mwadeghu to second."
