9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, as Members are aware, this is a Sessional Committee that is appointed for each and every Session to guide the business that will be coming before the House. These Members have been in this Committee and have acquired the necessary experience. As the leadership of the House, we saw no point of changing them as we move towards the tail end of this parliament. We needed experienced hands and they have proved themselves in terms of attendance and participation. Therefore, we would like to urge the rest of the House to approve this membership so that we can ...

22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Members, you will note that we just have this sitting to transact some business. Even some businesses we thought would be completed in the morning attracted so much interest from the Members such that we are now finding ourselves with those businesses on the afternoon Order Paper. We have only four hours, depending on the next Motion which I will also be moving. Hence it becomes necessary that we reapportion our time so that we can at least transact the various businesses that are before us.

The effect of this as compared to ordinary days is that ordinarily, we go for two-and-half hours per item, but after consulting with Members, including some from the House Business Committee, we thought it would be best that we limit the debate to one-and-half hours. Members will have opportunity to transact business in their areas of interest so that we finish the business today. I do not have to ask the Speaker to call you on another day between now and your holidays. So, you can go feeling you are done with our business. It is a very straightforward matter. ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Again, Hon. Members, this is just for good order and to ensure that we take full advantage of our having made our sacrifices and coming here today that 7 O’clock does not find us, perhaps with only seven or eight minutes to go to ...
