    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order. Hon. Speaker, you realise that the debate on the Second Supplementary Budget ended yesterday. I know that you as the Hon. Speaker, under Standing Order No.1, can re-open the debate. However, with regard to the amendment being proposed, the right procedure is that it has to go to the relevant Committee for us to determine its viability or otherwise. Since this is not the time for debate, I urge that for the purpose of neatness, you allow this amendment to be brought back as a substantial part of the original Motion and then send it back to the committees. I sit in the Departmental Committee of Defence and Foreign Relations and the amendment which Hon. Mutava Musyimi has just raised has not come before us. We had a long meeting this morning. So, without creating so much controversy, the IEBC can go to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, and the other one to the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. After that you could guillotine everything on Tuesday afternoon. That would be the neatest way for the sake of procedure in this House so that it does not look like somebody was doing something wrong. Thank you."
