Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and thank you again for observing rules and procedures but sometimes it will be very nice to indulge Members, especially using your discretion in Standing Order No.1. What we were really trying to do was to save time but instead we have actually ended up spending and not wasting because in Parliament we cannot waste time, but we have ended up using that time in activities that would, otherwise have been used another time. So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to help us save time more I am requesting hon. Sakaja to please adopt my ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the proposed amendment by hon. Sakaja. I would want to urge that if he is willing, we could adopt my further amendments on sub-clauses 10 and 12, to make it richer, then I would not have to propose my amendment. The rest of our amendments are similar.

On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Whereas I agree with you that substantively our amendments are the same, the Chair has not taken into account the amendments that I am proposing in sub-clauses 10 and 12. So, I wholly support his amendments, but I do not know how we will do it. If I can move mine in 10 and 12 or he can adopt mine in 10 and 12 because they essentially speak to inclusion of persons with disabilities and women, it will fine. However, mine is wider because I also include 10 and 12. So, ...

Maybe to make it shorter, could I propose a further amendment to hon. Sakaja’s then after that I can drop mine? I would propose a further amendment to hon. Sakaja’s by including amendment to sub clauses 10 and 12 in the manner that I have provided in the Order Paper. Then it will be a further amendment to hon. Sakaja’s.

I am Nyasuba, but Member for Mbita. I am requesting that the House resumes so that we can request formally when the House is sitting fully and not as a Committee. We have 30 minutes and I can request when the House is sitting if we can sit in the next one minute.

On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think there must be something wrong with my intervention button. I am standing under Standing Order No.31 as read together with Standing Order No.1 requesting that we extend the sitting time until 1 O’clock because we have a lot of business. If you look at the nature of this House, many Private Members have a lot of Bills that we need to transact. We have just come back from recess and if you look at the Parliamentary calendar, we will soon be going on recess. You can see that the ...
