    "content": "Thirdly, the ruling by my able Deputy decided that the person entitled to sit in the Opposition is hon. Cyrus Jirongo, the hon. Member for Lugari. But that ruling fell short of deciding on what position hon. Cyrus Jirongo will sit in. He did not designate a particular seat for hon. Cyrus Jirongo. Further, and significantly, that ruling did not decide in any manner and by any level of imagination, that hon. Cyrus Jirongo is the Leader of the Official Opposition, which he is not. This is because, for a party to constitute the Official Opposition, it must have not less than 30 Members of Parliament. In those circumstances, there is no seat to the left that is reserved for hon. Cyrus Jirongo, but he is entitled to sit to the left of the Speaker! In those circumstances, hon. Members, I find nothing out of order and I rule that the sitting arrangement, as it is now, is in order! With regard to reserved seats, that has been done in accordance with the prerogative of the Chair. Thank you, hon. Members. Mr. Minister, you may proceed!"
