"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 87(3), which provides that it is out of order for any hon. Member to use offensive or insulting language, whether in respect of Members of the House or other persons. I am serving my first term in this august House but I indicated during my maiden speech that I was here to learn, and that I preferred to learn the good conduct of this House. I have keenly observed debate in this House, particularly when you occupy the Chair. There is a tendency by hon. Members to raise trivial issues on the Floor of the House and engage us on such issues for a lengthy period of time, which goes into waste. I would like to make particular reference to an hon. Member who referred to a fellow hon. Member as âinsaneâ. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to make particular reference to a Member who referred to a fellow Member as being insane. That is not only offensive to the extreme, but it is also an insult. When hon. Waititu was shouted down and somebody was making reference in a derogative manner about Central Province, he was shown the door. One Member here has referred to another as being insane. I have never thought that the sanity of this hon. Member seated next to me is in question."
