    "content": "That is the genesis of the problem with the entire Standing Orders. We did not even want to oppose those Standing Orders because those who wanted the provisions that are there were the Majority then and there was tyranny of numbers and tyranny of sitting on the Chair you are sitting right now. So, having experienced what we went through to get to these Standing Orders, first and foremost, I want it to go on record that they were done in hiding. These Standing Orders were only brought at the late hour so that they could not be scrutinized properly. As we can see now, there are items in those Standing Orders that during the weekend meeting that the women Members went to, could clearly see the weapons that the Leaders of the Majority and Whips have on errant Members which were actually dictatorial. I think Members of Procedure and Rules Committee should look at these Standing Orders afresh. Look at them whether you are on the Government side or on the Opposition side."
