"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to thank you for that direction, especially in connection with the Prime Ministerâs Time. However, probably, you could shed more light on it. Looking at the Standing Orders, the provision that Questions be taken to the Prime Minister the Thursday preceding the Wednesday on which they are to be answered, we do not see it in the Standing Orders. Since we shall be setting a tradition, probably, as you guide us further, it would be important for you to give us some allowance as the Prime Minister rises to answer Questions. This is a very good opportunity for matters that arise at a short notice. We would like the Prime Minister to expect that the House will expect him to respond to issues on the spur of the moment. An example is the matter that took place in Mathira Constituency. If it had happened last night and the Prime Minister was on the Floor today, hon. Members would have had to pursue the issue immediately rather than wait to raise a Question to him next week. So, before we set precedence, probably, you could shed more light on this."
