    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order with regard to the Statement sought by hon. Gitari; in relation to Standing Order No.44. I remember that we allowed the Leader of the Majority Party to bring Statements here because we did not have Chairpersons of Committees. Our Standing Orders are very clear that a Member may request a Statement from the Chairperson of the relevant committee and the Speaker may direct that the Statement be issued on the same day. So, that request for Statement is good and I support it, but it should be directed to the relevant committee; the only provision in our Standing Orders that allows the Leader of the Majority Party to issue a Statement in the House--- In fact, it is not just the Leader of the Majority Party who can issue Statements. This needs to be very clear. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think that request for a Statement is good, but it should be directed to the relevant Departmental Committee, which I think is the one on Education, Research and Technology."
