Gikaria","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":2489,"legal_name":"David Gikaria","slug":"david-gikaria"},"content":"Regarding the removal of the Speaker from office, Part 12B says that before a member moves a Motion, he has to be supported by a certain number of Members. Once a Member has appended his signature on a Motion for removal of a Speaker, he or she will not be allowed to withdraw the signature. Something like that happened previously in this House. If I am not allowed to withdraw my signature after realising that the allegations that made me to append my signature on the Motion are not factual, what will happen? Once I realise that the allegations that had been made by the Mover of the motion are not factual, I may decide to rescind my decision to support the Motion. I should, as a Member, be given an opportunity to withdraw my signature. It would be very bad for me, just because I have appended my signature after being given false information, to be denied a chance to withdraw my signature from such a Motion."}
