    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to go on record for the benefit of Hon. Lomenen and for the country. First, the Bill belongs to the Leader of the Majority Party on behalf of the Government. So, I have powers, provided for under the Standing Orders, to withdraw. Secondly, I have not even withdrawn. I have used Standing Order No.134 which is very clear that any Member can stand on his feet from where he sits and ask the Committee of the whole House to report progress. I have given the reasons that the Vice-Chairman was moving new clauses. One does not need to be in the Chamber to know these things. In my office, there is a communication gadget that reports loudly. I also have a television and I was following the proceedings clause by clause. I had to sit with the research team in my office to ensure I understand the new clauses. They were just introduced in the Order Paper this morning. We have nothing under the table. It is Hon. Lomenen who has something under the table is as far as this Bill is concerned. We want him to declare his interest. In fact, to the contrary, I am just the custodian of this Bill and I have invoked a legitimate Standing Order. If he thinks I have not invoked any Standing Order, I did and I have only asked for consultation. Tomorrow, the Bill will be brought back. That is the only thing I did and I have no bad intention. Hon. Lomenen, do not read too much into something which is not there."
