"content": "Order, Senate Majority and Minority Leaders! You have held us at ransom for a while. Hon. Senators, I had communicated earlier on the issue of time and how we need to manage the conclusion of debate on this issue. This is because we cannot stop now and initiate debate on the Budget Policy Statement (PBS) which is very important. Since, this matter on the deadline of BPS is not expressly provided for, I will apply Standing Order No. 1. The deadline on the PBS is in the Public Finance Management Act and has to be adhered to. Therefore, I will allow a few more speakers. Once more, I recommend that you take few minutes. Get your points right and communicate so that you articulate yourself on them. The fact that there are no time limits does not mean we can spend the entire week on this report because we have other competing issues that we have to attend to. So, kindly, all the speakers, take the shortest time possible. The shorter your speech, the greater you encourage efficiency of this House."
