    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my friend, Sen. Wetangula, to really applaud your ruling. Being lawyers, we know that there is the Oxygen Principle, which is in Section 3 of our Civil Procedure Rule. That is a rule that always gives discretion to our Judges to find a way of being innovative, where the law has not made a specific provision on how to deal with an issue. As you have rightly ruled this afternoon, the framers of our Standing Orders, put that particular provision, so we give discretion to the Speaker; that where a matter comes before him that is not expressly provided in our Standing Orders, we can revert to the wisdom of the Speaker of the day."
