"content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I rise on Standing Order No.47 and I want to rise with a lot of respect to your ruling. I also stand guided because if I understood your ruling well, you said that the hon. Member was raising his point of order on weighty issues at the wrong time and if I understand hon. Mbadi well, he has purported to try and now raise the point of order at the right time. It would be useful if, and I would urge you, the issues that are being raised here are issues that are weighty and that will inform the operation of this House not just for four years but for a lifetime because you actually create precedents when you sit on that Chair. So, whatever you say on that Chair will be quoted by several Chairs long after you are gone and because of that I want to read Standing Order No.47(3)(b). It states:- âIf the Speaker is of the opinion that any proposed Motion - (b) is contrary to the Constitution or an Act of Parliament, without expressly proposing appropriate amendment to the Constitution or the Act of ParliamentâŚâ, then you will see what hon. Wandayi is talking about."
