    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise on Standing Order No.116, which states as follows: - “(1) A Senator is disorderly if the Senator- (a) creates disorder; (b) knowingly raises a false point of order; (c) unnecessarily interrupts the proceedings or consults in a disruptive manner; (d) fails to record abstention in a Division; (e) makes allegations without, in the Speaker’s opinion, adequate substantiation or (f) commits any other breach of these Standing Orders that in the opinion of the Speaker constitutes disorderly conduct.” “ Let me not read the whole of it, but up to that. We are living in very interesting times. There are some Senators here who have made it their habit; you cannot even make a contribution because they feel so entitled that they can always stand on points of order. I think this is very unfair! Some of us are queuing in the line to make contributions, but you hear Sen. Sakaja speaking four times and Sen. Cherargei five times. It is creating a sense of entitlement; that there are Senators who are more equal than others, and it is also disrupting the procedure of this House. I have never seen a House that is ruled by Standing Orders that are false and disorderly, and at the same time, Statements which are discussed up to 5.00 p.m."
