Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all I respect the decision of the minority side not to participate in Committees yet. Yesterday when the Speaker issued the order that we must constitute Committees by 20th November, 2017, I made it clear that the Majority side is ready. We are just being magnanimous to wait for our colleagues to be ready. There is a letter that came from the NASA coalition that is signed by one Norman Magaya. It came to the Senate Business Committee (SBC) yesterday. That letter requested for postponement of making of Committees and participation of NASA up ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am willing to consult. Part of the thirty seconds can be put into consultation. We can have five minutes. Meanwhile, in my suggestion, the Motion for Sen. Dullo can be started and then we come back here to proceed. You heard the very strong terms used by Sen. Wetangula on me. However, I did not raise any point of orders because you know he is the age of my father. He likes reminding me all the time that his son is my age and I have no shame. My father should be very proud, Sen. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to your earlier ruling and in the best interest of the country and the business of the House this afternoon, I want to request you to suspend the House for ten minutes to facilitate consultations, not only between the two of us, but where necessary for the Senate Minority Leader to also consult his Members, then we can come back after ten minutes.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is white smoke in figurative terms. The consultations of the Leader of Minority and his team have borne fruits. If you may allow me, the leader of Minority can report to the House the details of what they have agreed upon, which he has notified me. Considering seniority, he should report as it is, verbatim, without my reporting.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you allowed the Leader of Minority get away with a lot of things that would have otherwise attracted points of order. Since I escaped the wrath of “Sieke”, does he know that I beat “ Sieke?” I had 85 per cent of the votes while he had only 13 per cent. I came to this House as one of the Senators with the highest approval rating including yourself, but Mr. Speaker ---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to request, before I move the Motion, that both sides make it brief because the substance of this Motion is the Bill itself, which we must dispose of by tomorrow. I will be brief. Instead of the 60 minutes that I have been allocated, I will use three minutes so that all of us can speak on this and allow the Committee to prepare for the Bill. I am requesting this so that all of us can move forward a little bit faster. Therefore, I beg to move the Motion in an amended ...
