    "content": "The Chair was very categorical that each day after the prayers, the business “shall” be disposed of in the manner it has been laid down. The business that the Speaker has the prerogative to rearrange is the substantive business after that. That is why you, if you look at your Standing Orders, they say: “Business as set down on the Order Paper”. This is the other businesses as set down on the Order Paper. But, as far as this is concerned, it has to be disposed of. Also, a certain provision of the Standing Orders says that you can have a maximum of 15 Questions and a minimum of 10 Questions. So, even if you wish to have five Questions to create more time for the business that you want us to deal with, which is equally very important – to operationalize the Constitution of the land - we are still limited by the provisions of the Standing Orders. But, nonetheless, the House has given an undertaking that business from the Government side, the Attorney- General, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs--- We shall dispose of that business even if it means burning the mid night oil. We have the prerogative. With the leave of the House, the House can sit for as late as it wants. So, any business that comes will not be delayed because the House has adjourned early."
