    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, having stood on a point of order, I will make this very brief and to the point. Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I join my colleagues in congratulating you and thanking the spirit of Marende in you. This continues the Marende tradition of respecting the law, being erudite and always seeking to enlighten legislators on what the Constitution and Standing Orders are; and what needs to be done. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason I have come here just to appeal to my fellow Senators is because we are likely to face such bumps in the future. My appeal is that it is better to err on the side of caution rather than be engaged in heady excitement in upheaval. So, I would caution ourselves, although Sen. Omar Hassan said that they were likely to go to a Press Conference, that it is better to consult under such circumstances and take reasoned decisions, like the Speaker has done, rather than engage in combat that may be more destructive than constructive. So, I do hope that this sets a precedent for facing such bumps in the future; with a reasoned approach and always seeking to solve problems through constructive engagement, rather than combat. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
