Duale","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":15,"legal_name":"Aden Bare Duale","slug":"aden-duale"},"content":"Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what guides the House is the Order Paper. There was an Order Paper earlier on and now we have the Supplementary Order Paper. In both Order Papers, Hon. Gumbo’s amendments are not there. As the Chair said, appearing before a Committee with regard to amendments does not guarantee you that they will appear on the Order Paper. That is within the Standing Orders. Even as I speak, I have a raft of amendments. When yesterday I realized that my amendments were similar to those of the Chair, I consulted the Controller of Budget, because I am the sponsor of the Bill, and she concurred with me that the amendments of the Chair can take precedence over mine. My only problem was if the amendments of Hon. Gumbo were in the Order Paper that came out in the morning. They were not in the original Order Paper, and that would have been something. The amendments are not in both Order Papers, and the only thing he is citing is his appearance before the Committee. There are many Members who appeared before the Committee and raised issues, but their amendments are not in the Order Paper. What will guide us – and you need to rule – is the Order Paper before us."}
