Speaker","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(iv) The averments are to be accompanied by necessary evidence, including annexes and sworn testimonies, in respect of the allegations. This will enable the Speaker to make determination of compliance of the notice in terms of Subsection (iii) and (iv). (v) The signatures are collected after the intended Motion has complied with (i), (ii) and (iii). (vi) Number of signatures is clearly stated just, one quarter of the membership of the assembly. Once the Speaker makes the ruling, it must remain and it is binding. Unfortunately, there is no appeal. It is good to remind ourselves; the appeal is available, if you could amend these Standing Orders. There is an avenue that the Standing Orders can be amended by you. This is the beauty about these current Standing Orders, unlike the previous ones which could not be amended until at the tail-end of the term of Parliament. They are amendable by ourselves, as we have done during this Parliament. You can propose so that the proposal does not have to satisfy the Speaker. However, if it has to satisfy the Speaker, which is the current situation, you must live with it."}
