"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate and I do not want to contradict your position, but I have invoked Standing Order No. 97. That is what I expected your ruling to be based on. Standing Order 97 clearly states the methodology to be used in events like these. It is not just enough to get a written explanation because this is not the first Question. You can see MPs have been put on the defence by what happened yesterday. It is our legitimate right to insist that we will not be cowed to work at the convenience of the Executive and this point must be heard clearly because Parliament is supreme, and that supremacy must be respected if positions change--- This is not the first Parliament that I have been. I personally will not be cowed into submitting to the wishes of anybody on the side of the Executive because we will play our legitimate role of oversight. This thing must be taken seriously. Therefore, I expect you to make a ruling on the basis of what Standing Order No. 97 says in this glaring disregard to Parliamentary privilege."
