    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe you need to give directions on this matter. My reading of the Standing Order No.46 (2) (b) confirms that Sen. Haji and Sen. Sakaja are wrong. It reads:- “A Senator may request for a statement from a Committee chairperson relating to matters under the mandate of the Committee.” The statement is asked of the Chairman, but through the Committee. The second portion states that:- “The Speaker may appoint a day for the statement to be made or direct that the statement be issued on the same day.” So, for the statement to be issued in any other form other than the form that is specified, leave must be sought. However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Order No.46 (3) says that:- “A Senator who wishes to seek leave to raise a statement under (2) (a) or (b) shall, before 1:00 p.m., on the day on which the Statement is proposed to be made, hand to the Speaker a written notification of the matter.” The answer cannot come in a different format. The Statement that is sought is in writing and therefore, the answer must also come in the same format. Your directions on this matter would be very welcome. Thank you."
