    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that very important ruling on this matter. I think I share in your conclusion that it is the dignity of the House that is really important at the time when we are trying to create our space as a Senate in this nation. I want to say that even as you give this ruling, as late as this weekend, some of the distinguished Senators, have actually been debating issues that are before Committees. One important issue before the Committee of Finance is the Division of Revenue Bill and how much money should be allocated to the counties. It does not really help when Members of the Senate go out there and insist on the figure that will be allocated. I think it is important that what is before the Committees of the House, as you said, be left so that it does not create that perception of confusion. Later on, it might reflect a confusion if ultimately the resolution of the House comes out differently. So, I want to appreciate that ruling and, perhaps, urge the House that Members who develop the tendency to take debate outside be held for contempt in the manner provided for in the Standing Orders. Thank you."
