    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. According to the traditions of Parliament, if a Committee sits and then after 30 minutes the Committee, for whatever reasons, is unable to transact business, that Committee stands suspended. I seek your indulgence to guide the House that since it is 6.49 p.m., and you have given us 15 minutes--- Since the Sitting began at 6.30 p.m., you need to guide this House on what will happen upon the expiry of the 30 minutes. This is because what we are having today is a “Committee of the Whole.” Could you guide us whether it will be still legal for this House to sit beyond 7.00 p.m.? I would like you to take this point of order very seriously, because as evidenced by the Wambora case, the matter ended here. They went on and sought refuge in the Judiciary. If we do not do everything according to procedure, this might very well be the reason whatever decision we make today, will be declared null and void by the Judiciary."
