Members, this further Communication relates to the question of disorderly conduct of Members during proceedings of the House. I have received formal complaints about the conduct of some Members during the afternoon sitting of Tuesday, December 20th, 2016. It was reported that some Members sneaked offensive items into the Chamber, including pepper sprays and whistles. The Legislature is by practice and tradition an institution of order and procedure. It is through these tenets, together with the rules that we set for ourselves that we are able to carry out business of the institution. I will remind you that of all the three arms of Government, much more is expected of the Legislature in terms of leadership and finesse. It is, therefore, incumbent upon all of us to uphold the high expectations of the society of the institution and its membership. Regarding the complaints so far received, I hereby refer the matter to the Powers and Privileges Committee, which will handle them case by case. Please be accordingly guided."
