    "content": " Order, Senators! Both of you, the Senator Minority Leader and the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government, cannot squander the valuable time of this House by discussion things that can be discussed elsewhere. Since you have brought them to my attention, I will give you in equal measure. First, Sen. Murkomen, you have used the words “if he was careful enough,” and yet, you are the one who is not careful enough. The Senate Minority Leader was so careful enough that he read that three “stars” denotes a Committee Bill. So, his proposal is that instead of putting the name of the Chairperson, we need to put the title. For example, the title should be “Chairperson, Committee on National Security and Defence.” If you look at the other Bills, they are indicated “The Senate Majority Leader.” That is the way I understood Sen. Wetangula’s input. Secondly, Sen. Wetangula, being the Senate Minority Leader sits in a very privileged position. That position gives him a lot of access, including to one very prominent Committee known as the Rules and Business Committee (RBC). That is one area where house-keeping issues should be raised rather than on the Floor of the House. He is doing it as if he is Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who does not have that privilege. Even Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has the privilege of being a Member of the Liaison Committee. You are talking about a matter that does not exist, in the first instance. I hope both of you are guided. Next Order! The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
