    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While noting that the Sixth Schedule indicates and clearly specifies the time limits and Article 261 requires that if we are to operate beyond that particular timeline, we would have to certify that the circumstances do require an extension of time for us to be able to debate that matter, I do not know whether you will be able to consider and probably certify that the conditions require that we extend the time even before we get the Motion. You will recall about a week ago, we were asking the Government to explain why the delay and why they asked us to do legislation within four days but now they themselves require an extension. We had asked for an extension including for this particular Bill but it was resisted by the Government. Now they are asking us, out of time, to continue cleaning – I do not want to call it their mess but it is similar to that, for lack of a better word – nevertheless, I would expect that in the memorandum the President would kindly explain to us what security roles the District Commissioners (DCs) have outside the police force. Are the DCs inspectors in the Administration Police? What are they required to do as security agents? Of course, the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security is living in the past but can we be clear on who they are?"
