    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will not refer to the substantive Speaker in person. However, the Speaker’s Office is an institution. When we see that the institution is now attempting to investigate on the circumstances that led to the Minority side deciding to change their leadership and appointing a new leadership, that in itself leaves a lot to be desired. This is a House of reason and union that is supposed to show high level of discipline. This House has the best legal minds. The secretariat advices us – legislators – whenever we have any matter to deliberate here. However, we are concerned because our side has no leadership at the moment. We only have the Senate Minority Leader and his Deputy. We do not have a Whip or Deputy Whip. The communication--- I am trying to understand. Sometimes I wonder whether people go to different schools when it comes to reading simple English. Standing Order No.23 (6) is self-explanatory. I do not want us to cause any havoc. A House of union, that is supposed to make laws in this country, led by a distinguished Speaker, cannot clearly read what is indicated here. Standing Order No.23(6) clearly says- “Upon a decision being made by the minority party under this Standing Order, the decision of the party shall be communicated to the Speaker in writing, together with the minutes of the meeting at which the decision was made.”"
