    "content": "THAT, this House orders that the business appearing in the Order Paper be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3) being a Wednesday morning, a day allocated for business not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party or business sponsored by a Committee. Standing Order No. 40(3) is the one that allocates Wednesday mornings for Private Members. My colleague, Hon. Mbadi, is here and can bear me witness. Last night, in the House Business Committee (HBC), we found out that the only Motions available were the ones that were given Notice of Motion this morning, and there was no way they could be given Notice of Motion and be discussed today. So, all those Motions of Private Members will begin next week on Wednesday morning. Because of that, we realised that the House cannot be sitting without any business. We decided to allocate part of the afternoon business for today and Thursday, that is why, procedurally, we need to seek leave of the House for us to discuss the other pending matter. It is a very simple matter. I am sure from next week on Wednesday going forward we will be having enough Motions and Bills either from Committees or Private Members. But for today, there is nothing in the kitchen from Private Members business. It is a small Procedural Motion and I will ask my colleague Hon. Mbadi, a Member of the House Business Committee to second."
