    "content": "ADHERENCE TO STANDING ORDERS WHEN REQUESTING FOR STATEMENTS With respect to Statements, our Standing Orders provide that those Members who want to seek a Ministerial Statement must give notice to the Speaker, at least, one hour before the sitting of the House. A trend is emerging where hon. Members approach Mr. Speaker or any other Presiding Officer a few minutes before they raise the Statement. That is not allowed in our Standing Orders. Therefore, hon. Members are now discouraged after this communication to refrain from this habit. Secondly, a Member who will raise a request is obligated to give the substance of the Statement to the Speaker. This is the substance of the request. Again, there is an emerging trend where hon. Members vary requests on the Floor. This has emerged, more so, this afternoon. The Member for Ikolomani, for instance, had filed a request with me where he was going, in the substance of his request, to ask for three areas of clarification. However, this afternoon, he took the liberty when he had the Floor to ask for nine areas of clarification including issues which are completely strange from the original request. So, please, note and be guided accordingly. This is just for good practice. Next Order!"
