    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, part of what I have learnt since I joined this august House is that a point of order should be raised when a Motion has been moved and seconded. This is to ensure that the Motion is properly before the House for debate. However, we have to decide whether we want to do our business or we want to play games with serious issues. We are in a debating Chamber. We are making laws. There is the EALA Chamber, which is just as important as this House. There is a statute we have passed in this House; that is Cap.2, in which we have domesticated that law. We all know that we need to send our delegates as fast as we can. If we are going to play games so that we unnecessarily extend this debate beyond what is necessary, we might just as well say that we do not want to do our business. I want to second my friend, the Minority Whip and say that it is very important not just for the conclusion of the EALA membership election debate but also for conclusion of the constitutional amendment debate. Those are very important discussions before the House. I hear some comments from the other side of the House. I cannot help but think that those comments are to an extent intended to forestall and filibuster something which is very important. With those remarks, I second this good Procedural Motion. We should be able to debate the businesses referred to until we conclude them."
