Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas we appreciate and welcome President Kikwete to address the Houses of Parliament, in your reading of Standing Order No.25(2), there is a provision in that Standing Order No.25(1) which says: “The Speaker may, after consultation with the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader, allow a visiting Head of State or other visiting dignitary, to address the Senate.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to get your clarification if the Senate Minority Leader was consulted because this is provided for in the Standing Orders."}
