    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am rising on this point of order in order to clarify further what I meant in view of the understanding by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. This is where experience comes in. This country remembers that after the elections of 2007, during the swearing, it became extremely difficult for us to move either forward, backwards or sideways. What saved the House on that day – you were there – was Standing Order No.1 (ii) which then referred, as you will remember, to the traditions and usages and so on. It saved the situation and the swearing-in was able to take place that day. To allow the point of order by Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki to pass, that we are not tied by these Standing Orders, it is to open the possibility that we shall never create a tradition or usages in this House."
