    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I accept your ruling, it is a good ruling. As I said in the very beginning, the matter has had confusion somewhere along the line, between the two Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills. That has caused confusion. I do not know to what extent. There was a ruling by ole Kaparo when he was the Speaker that one can only bring amendments during the Committee Stage and Third Reading which have been mentioned during the Second Reading. In other words, you cannot just come up with an amendment out of the blues during the Committee Stage when you have attended to issues in the Second Reading, so that other members can comment on it in the Second Reading. Complete the Second Reading, I agree that we go as far as we can, but I would urge that maybe we do not complete the Second Reading until the Committees have had a chance to look at it. In the light of that ruling, if you think that ruling by Speaker ole Kaparo binds you, but it was a reasonable ruling saying that you cannot bring an amendment into the Third Reading if you have not raised that matter during the debate on the Second Reading."
