"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also laud this Senate in the way we handle our Business. We have set the pace on how it should be done and that is why we are also debating this one. When I read Standing Order No.30, I am very compelled to agree with Sen. Orengo on the gazettement of this Sitting. This Sitting does not fall in the purview the Standing Order No.30 on hours of meeting. In fact, under Standing Order No.30(3), on a normal day, we can actually meet any other time. However, on this one, it is under Standing Order No.29 which is very specific on a Special Sitting. The way the Gazette Notice is worded, I am compelled to agree that we should have gazetted the time. Standing Order No.29(3) says:- “The Speaker shall, by notice in the Gazette, notify the Senators of the place, date and time appointed for the Special Sitting of the Senate.” It does not leave room for any maneuver because it specifies the time and place. The way I read and interpret the Gazette Notice, that already happened in the morning. We are now in another Sitting. We should review and do another Gazette Notice for another Sitting."
