    "content": "Unfortunately, as some of you would know, not everybody understands the language of Parliament. I specifically pointed out the provisions of Article 124(1) of the Constitution, whose sub-heading is Committees and Standing Orders, that states: “(1) Each House of Parliament may establish committees, and shall make Standing Orders for the orderly conduct of its proceedings, including the proceedings of its committees.” As you are all aware, it is pursuant to that Article and not just the Standing Orders that this House and the other House do regularly come up with calendars of their sittings. We have in our Standing Orders created several committees of this House with various mandates. However, there are some overenthusiastic people who always do not understand some of those things. Article 132(1)(a) of the Constitution is clear that among the key functions of any president is to address the first sitting of a newly elected Parliament."
