    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That is what I had to say. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the Standing Order that hon. Khalwale, my good friend, and I went to campaign for him, I am glad that I talked to the people of Ikolomani and they listened to me, and they brought him back. I congratulate him. The Standing Order says with the approval of the Speaker. He is seeking that approval on the Floor. He is directing the Chair on what needs to be done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to welcome hon. Khalwale to be more patient. Two, the Speaker had made a ruling just today as a result of midnight meetings of the House business Committee, not because they are nocturnal by nature, but because of the desire to resolve the matter within the day that they had been appointed. Three, if we allow this kind of sneaking business, we, as a Parliament, will not be doing our part to interrogate these people. The job of this House is not a rubberstamp of the Executive decisions and appointments. We must interrogate the matter. It is our right to approve or decline. That is still within our right. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg that you rule this Motion completely inadmissible and that you grant hon. Khalwale, with due respect, as we congratulate him, to be given a bit of more time to re-inducted the second time."
