"content": "Hon. Members, except with my leave, when a Member rises on a point of order, it is not open to you to also speak purportedly on a point of order. On this matter, Hon. Midiwo jumped the gun. As he concluded his remarks, he said the correct thing, which is that he can raise those issues when the Order is called. Quite rightly, that would be the appropriate time. In the event that the issues you will be raising touch on the Constitution, there may be need for a considered ruling to be made before debate is commenced. However, if this is the same Bill that the Leader of the Majority Party has written to me about, he withdrew consideration of the entire provisions relating to the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) and the clauses purporting to amend the Universities Act, except Sections 22 and 39. I communicated that yesterday. So, the Bill would be proceeding for consideration without reference to the proposed amendments to the IPOA Act and the Universities Act, save for references to Sections 22 and 39 thereof. That is what the Leader of the Majority Party wrote to me about and that is what I communicated to the House yesterday. It is good that you have raised it so that I can remind the House that the Leader of the Majority Party has withdrawn those two aspects of the Bill."
