    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I equally rise to support the Procedural Motion. It should not be lost on hon. Members that all the other arms of the Government have gone digital. Those in the Executive are always on their iPods . In the Judiciary, High Court Judges are always on their iPods . So, what hon. Wanga has said is very relevant for this august House. We must also appreciate that laws are not static. In this august House, we have Members from different fields of specialty. Not all of them are lawyers. So, when we make Standing Orders that are very rigorous, and which are not easy to understand, we lose a lot of Members in terms of debate. For instance, when an hon. Member stands on a point of order and then the Chair insists that, that Member should indicate under what Standing Order he has risen, you lose many of us. This is something you have personally not done, and I must thank you. Therefore, we must make our Standing Orders quite easy to understand, so that hon. Members can follow what we discuss in this House and make informed contributions. Thank you."
