"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will try to persuade you. I want to persuade you on two accounts. One, Standing Order No.40 allows the Prime Minister to be deputized by the Deputy Prime Minister. On such an issue of real serious importance, we have not been given any explanation as to why neither of the two Deputy Prime Ministers could deputize the Prime Minister while he is away, as provided for in the Standing Orders. On the second account, in fact, you are right. The decision to name a Member remains with the Speaker. That is what Dr. Khalwale was trying to do under Standing Order No.98. Any hon. Member, including Dr. Khalwale and Mr. Ethuro, can petition the Speaker. Then you can rule on that after you have heard Dr. Khalwale. Have I persuaded you, Mr. Speaker, Sir?"
