    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 97(4) and in furtherance to the provisions of Standing Order 24(6), this House orders that debate on the Address by the President be limited to no more than five (5) minutes for each Member speaking, thirty (30) minutes for the Mover in moving and replying and twenty (20) minutes for the Leader of the Majority Party. This Procedural Motion, like any other, is one of the main guidelines of this House as you have already said, particularly Standing Order No. 97(4) which is the key foundation of our procedures here. We do not talk indefinitely or bring up issues that are not in order. For the benefit of the new Members, I would like to tell them that Procedural Motions and these guidelines will always appear in the Order Paper. Therefore, when you want to speak you should refer to them in order to know exactly which Motion has been listed and its requirements insofar as contributing are concerned. In this particular one, we are referring to the Speech which was delivered yesterday by His Excellency the President. It was tabled today by the Majority Leader and I urge Members to read it because once we start debating it, these will be the guidelines on how to debate it. The limitations have been set out. For instance, it is only five minutes for Members and 20 minutes for the Leader of the Majority Party. It is, therefore, important that we limit our contribution to five minutes so that as many Members as possible contribute to the Speech, particularly our brothers who have come in the 12th Parliament. They need to get a chance to make their maiden speeches. I urge Members to accept this Procedural Motion and pass it so that we can debate the Speech elaborately and with a lot of participation from many Members.
