    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With humility and respect, and while Mr. Ojode is standing next to you, I wish to bring to the attention of the House a practice that is offensive to the Standing Orders of this House, and which is gaining popularity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me draw your attention to Standing Order No.53 which states:- \"Every hon. Member desiring to speak shall rise in his place and address himself to Mr. Speaker.\" I would also like to bring to your attention Standing Order No.85 which says:- \"Except when passing to and from his seat or when speaking, every Member when in the Chamber shall be seated, and shall not at any time stand in any of the passages and gangways.\" Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, may I quote Standing Order No.84 (2) which states:- \"No Member shall pass between the Chair and any Member who is speaking between the Chair and the Table except in so far as it is necessary for the purpose of administration of the oath or affirmation of Allegiance.\" What has happened with hon. Ojode is offensive to these Standing Orders. The spirit and intention of these Standing Orders is to allow decorum and seriousness in the House. Any act that interrupts debate or disrupts the Speaker's attention offends these Standing Orders."
