(Dr.) Khalwale","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":170,"legal_name":"Bonny Khalwale","slug":"bonny-khalwale"},"content":"I know the meaning of the word “report”. The medium of learning where I went to school was English. Therefore, I understand it well. Whatever you table here is a report because you are reporting to us. I request that we do not rush. Let us allow the Speaker to make a considered opinion. It could be that a total of 35 minutes are available because we have 20 and 15 minutes as per the Standing Order Nos.53(4) and 53(3)(a), respectively. This is a matter of national importance like the drought that is affecting the country. This Senate would not have contemplated a situation where we are gagged. We should speak about this important issue."}
