    "content": "Hon. Members, before we proceed to the next order, I wish to draw the attention of the House to an item in the Appendix of today’s Order Paper titled “Zero Hour” Statements. Just for the information of Members, Standing Order No. 43 allows the Speaker to provide an opportunity to Members to make general statements of topical concern every Tuesday at 6.30 p.m. This is not a new practice. In fact, the use of the procedure known as ‘Zero Hour’, was popular in the 7thand 8thParliaments, and part of the 9th Parliament, but gradually diminished with time. In this regard, I want to thank the Hon. Member for Mogotio for studying and understanding the Standing Orders and being the first Member to utilise this provision in the 12th Parliament. I encourage other Members to borrow a leaf from him. You should, however, note that any Member making a statement during ‘Zero Hour’ will speak for not more than three minutes. I may allow brief comments by other Members. Further, a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
