    "content": "Hon. Members, take the nearest available seats. For clarity, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 30(2)(c), the House may adjourn at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays during the afternoon sitting, in the event the House concludes the business scheduled for the sitting in addition to any Questions scheduled for reply. Pursuant to the amendment of Standing Order 25A(b), I have designated the place adjacent to the public servants’ bench on the right of Hon. Speaker, as the appropriate place in the Chamber where a Cabinet Secretary shall expound on Government policy, reply to Questions and provide reports concerning matters under his or her control. This is the usual place where the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury presents Budget highlights annually. After a Cabinet Secretary has responded to a Question, the Standing Orders allow the Speaker the latitude to: (a) Permit the Member who raised the Question to ask a maximum of two supplementary questions that relate to the original Question. (b) Permit a Member, other than the Member who asked a Question, to ask a further supplementary question that relates to the original Question. (c) To direct a Cabinet Secretary to provide additional information or a further reply to a Question or supplementary questions to the relevant committee of the House. (d) To defer a Question to a different time or day from its scheduled time and day. Hon. Members, I encourage Members of the Chairperson’s Panel to be flexible. If a Question is of national interest, they should not limit it to one or two supplementary questions. They should allow a few Members who have similar issues to ventilate on the Question."
