    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Standing Order is very clear that it is within your jurisdiction to look at the communication from the President. If it is a matter of national importance, you have powers to recall Parliament and we go on with the business as it deems fit to you. Let us not break the rules of procedure. Let us follow the Standing Order. I support the Motion as placed before the House. Let us follow the rules and procedure. Presidential appointments, in case we are going to approve the appoint Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries, is a weighty matter. If, in case, we have emergency, like tension on our borders, and we need to deploy the military, such is a weighty matter. It is purely within your power. However, let us not bend the rules for the sake of pleasing a few individuals. Hon. Speaker, the rules and procedure of this House should not even be anticipated by debate. Is the Leader of the Majority Party aware of the day and time when the President will name the Cabinet? If he is, let him tell us. Let us not anticipate debate. Those are the rules and procedures of this House. Thank you so much."
