    "content": "Thank you once again, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I rise to also comment on the Motion by the Senate Majority Leader. It is not lost on us that the hon. Sen. Gloria Orwoba, did indeed exercise her right to seek judicial intervention and a finding was made by the court. As to her choice not to pursue an appeal against the decision, which went against her, could be a revelation on her part as to the importance of seeking to apologize before the House. This is because that decision seeking to challenge, was occasioned by the decision of this House. The House had decided to punish her for a period of 79 days. I believe her apology to the Members, including the victim of the actions that led to the punishment by the House, is sufficient in the circumstances, particularly where the Mover of the Motion has not completely proposed that the punishment be rescinded, but only be reduced from 79 days to 30 days. From where I sit, having a colleague who has without hesitation sought to be forgiven by the Members who could have been or could not have been affected by the decision that was made should be considered. The period of punishment be reduced as proposed by the Senate Majority Leader suffices. I am very sure that the Senate Majority Leader will also speak to a few of the issues that Members have raised here in the context of a decision having been made and also the position of the victim of the utterances that led to the subject we are debating this afternoon."
