    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the procedure of handling Messages from the National Assembly, as you correctly quoted, is provided in Standing Order No. 40. At the end, paragraph six, gives you the discretion on how you want that particular Message from the National Assembly to be handled. In your Communication, you chose the option of appointing a day for consideration of the message when you said that it should appear on our Order Paper. I need your guidance. This is not the first time that this is happening. We do not want you, as our Speaker, to join your colleague in violating provisions of Article 110(3) of our Constitution which is very explicit. I do not know at what stage your counterpart from the “Lower House” got to know the provisions of Article 110(3) because you told us that it was an afterthought. It is not acceptable. We would like you to rescind the decision you took by appointing a day when the message can be considered and we resolve that we want to deal with this matter now. As a House, you can hear it very loud and clear; we will not accept this. So, rather than appoint a day that you have, we, as a House, are making a resolution that we reject this Bill vehemently in totality until the provisions of Article 110(3) of the Constitution are followed for us to consider this Bill. We reject it and we do not want it to appear on our Order Paper at any time."
