    "content": " No. I will not think about it anymore. My mind is very clear, because if you want to proceed under Standing Order 45 (2) (b) it says:- “A Senator may request for a statement from a Committee chairperson relating to matters under the mandate of the Committee and the Speaker may either appoint a day for the statement to be made or direct that the statement be issued on the same day.” So, let me assume that you want to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government. You will still have to do it through the Speaker. You cannot do it directly to the Chairperson. That is why you have to proceed under Standing Order No. 45 (3). So, either way I regret that you are caught up because how are you going to deal with it? From whom are you seeking a Statement? It is your right to do so and today we have had so many Statements issued or deferred. But if you want to do so, then you must comply with Standing Order 45 (3). I think that it is as easy as that, with a lot of respect and regrets for you, because it is not in my place to refuse any Senator from raising an issue that they would like to raise. But you also know that I am not going to break our own law to allow a Statement to be sought."
