"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the same point of order I would like to draw your attention to Standing Order No.41 (2) which says:- “A Question shall be of a genuinely interrogative character and its purpose shall be limited to seeking information or pressing for action” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if a Member of Parliament is asking a Question so as to press for action in a specific period of time and then the Question pends in the Ministry--- For example, if it was requesting that a patient be taken to hospital and the patient has since died, what then would be the use of the Question being asked? I request that you make this ruling, so that once we have the written Questions--- Even if the Question comes after three months and I have already seen the proper action has been taken, I can even tell the Clerk that this matter has since been settled. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government must take us seriously."
