    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not really a point of order. I just want to seek your direction in this matter. You indicated that you want to discourage Members commenting on Statements because it takes a lot of time. Instead, Members should be encouraged to appear in those Committees. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two issues here. There are Statements and Petitions. My experience in the National Assembly is that the comments on Petitions are encouraged, but on Statements, they are not. I am not saying that we need to follow what happens there. Hon. Members need to know the clear position and it is important for you to give clear directions. Do we comment on Statements? If it is so, you could give a short time. If the policy says no, then you should have that position. Looking at the nature of Petitions, I feel you need to give direction on that issue. I am not saying we adopt what happens elsewhere, but as a Member of this House, I just want your clear direction."
