    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to beseech my colleagues that we are mature men and women in this House. A few weeks ago, I mentioned to the Senate Majority Leader, that if these things proceed the way they are doing, he is losing this House. I have sat here and I have been very calm today, I have listened. I have listened to the Senate Majority Whip; the Senate Majority Whip has constantly used Un- parliamentary language. He has also tried to rewrite our Standing Orders by standing and saying, “I am moving a Motion under Standing Order No.123.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have to give respect. I have listened the Senate Majority Whip saying, “The young Senators please learn from our wisdom.” However, does that learning equate to rewriting the Standing Orders that are not in existence? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want us to get to a point where we are now directing the Chair. However, I want to follow the words of wisdom from Sen. Madzayo. I beseech you that with all these emotions; I take full responsibility for what has happened on our side and request us to maintain decorum in this House. That is the only time we shall be seen as different."
