    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. Indeed, as the Leader of the Majority Party has said, Members also need time now that at least 262 of the 290 NG-CDF have submitted the names of their respective Committee members for gazettement. Members will require time to go and familiarise themselves with the operations of the NG-CDF especially the new Members, to ensure that they engage members of the public in their constituencies on what kind of projects should be implemented. I urge the Members to complete projects that had been initiated by their predecessors so long as their predecessors had involved the public in initiating them since the projects will serve the people of this great Republic. Hon. Speaker, as the Leader of the Majority Party has said, we also need time for those of us who want to support the presidential election petitions that are in court. We need to have time to attend not just to the issues in court, but to also pray for this nation so that it continues being cohesive. I join the Leader of the Majority Party in praying that our colleagues from the NASA Coalition will, within this short period, have further consultations and agree on the leadership they want in this House. We also need time for us, as coalitions, to agree on the membership of the various Committees. You have heard the many requests for Select Committees. If, indeed, we have the Committees, we would not require formation of Select Committees. Finally, in answering the Leader of the Majority Party on what he said, I participate in the tug of war. That is why I was very particular on that one and on another one called Badminton."
