    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue raised by Hon. Duale should have been raised on that night before the global Question was put. To be honest, because you were following, when we finished with Hon. Alice’s amendment, the Chair went ahead to put the global Question. Hon. Duale and all these other Members were here but nobody rose in their place to say the global Question had been put yet their amendments had not been addressed. So, for Hon. Duale to rise now is many hours late. This is because the global Question was put and executed. In any case, as Hon. T.J. said, the Members rising in their places lost their right. This is because they were grossly disorderly by opening the Bar and leaving in the middle of a Division. Hon. Speaker, that was gross disorder. In fact, to come back and raise that issue when they actually left the House in the middle of a Division against the Standing Orders is really out of place. Hon. Duale and the other Members who had amendments to Clause 7 should have raised this issue before the global Question was put. After Hon. Alice’s amendment was prosecuted and defeated, the Chair went ahead to put the global Question that – Clause 7 be part of the Bill. They remained here and voted against it. They then left in the middle of a Division and they are now saying they had amendments to Clause 7. Hon. Speaker, that is completely out of order. In any case, they should be found out of order for breaking the Bar and leaving the House in the middle of a Division. That is unacceptable. Thank you."
