    "content": " Sen. Mukite that is an important point of order. I noticed it, but felt that I did not want to interrupt you since this is the first Motion that you are moving. However, it is important for you and other Senators to take cognisance of Standing Order No.81 which is very clear and mandatory in its terms. It states that, speeches should not be read by Senators while they are contributing. Standing Order No.81(1) says:- “No Senator shall read a speech but a Senator may read short extracts from written and printed papers in support of an argument and may refresh memory by reference to notes. (2) The Speaker may allow a Senator to read a speech in particular cases where the Speaker is satisfied that this is necessary for precision in statement of facts.” This means that the Senator would have to ask for leave to read the speech. That is my interpretation of Standing Order No.81(2). It is important that you either ask for permission to read the speech because that is what you are doing or you proceed under the provisions of Standing Order No.81(2) where you are not expected to read the speech."
