    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I need your direction. Ordinarily, I do not interrupt my Chairman, Hon. Murugara. I am a member of that Committee. I wrote a letter to the Speaker dated 27th February 2025, and I had hoped that he would have given some directions. If he did not give directions, then you may consider the matter. I would still be happy if you pronounce yourself on it and then we proceed. I brought to the Speaker’s attention that the Report being considered is a Joint Report of the National Assembly and the Senate. On 9th October 2024, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs tabled a Report, which also considered the very same NADCO Report. I had sought the Speaker’s attention and direction on how we would treat the two Reports, and whether, indeed, it would be in order that, as we consider the current Report, we be allowed to look at the two Reports jointly. The reason for that is that in the Report tabled last year, a number of members of the Committee dissented in a few instances. Hon. TJ Kajwang’, Hon. Dawood, Hon. Adan and myself dissented in very specific points. I thought it would benefit this House if, in the course of our contributions, we are allowed to refer to those points of dissent which are not in the current Report. Without derailing debate, I would be very happy if you pronounced yourself and allowed us to do that. It is not a dissent with the entire Report. It is a minority opinion in very specific areas that we had pointed out. That is the direction I wanted. I am happy to table that letter, if need be. Thank you."
