    "content": "Fair enough. That is a bona fide point of order except for this, that at the point where you have risen to speak to that concern, you are actually out of order. This is because the matters you have spoken to were transacted at Order No.2 and you will notice that you are now rising at Order No.4. So, you are actually out of order. However, given the sensitivity of the matter that you first spoke to, I have, as a matter of fact, very carefully and agonizingly reflected on your request, that we observe one minute’s silence; I did find that it will be unprecedented for a non-sitting Member of Parliament. For us to be able to do so, as a House, therefore, it will entail very detailed consultations that will take the diversity of the House and leadership of the House on board before we take that step. Honorable as it is and deserved as, indeed, it is, we need to be careful when we get into the area of stating a possible precedent. After that careful reflection, I arrived at the conclusion that the timing is such that those necessary consultations will not take place to permit it. So, just rest assured that we reflected on this matter very carefully. The point at which I have left it, I think it is deserving and honorable to the late Martin Shikuku. So, let it rest there and, please, let us all pray that"
