"content": " Order, hon. Members! I think what hon. Keynan has sought is the issue of responsibility for statement of fact under Standing Order No. 82. Ideally and strictly according to the Standing Orders, I should not have entertained that because that matter should have been sought yesterday. However, having participated in the deliberations myself from the Floor, I know attempts were actually made to try and make the Ministers substantiate but they did not. Given also the gravity of the problem in terms of a blanket condemnation of the entire membership of the House, it will be irresponsible for this House to allow this statement to proceed without being challenged. So, the Chair has noted your issues of substantiation. The Chair has also appreciated the categories in which Members have been placed. Dr. Khalwale has, in particular, said that no apologies will be accepted, a position which seems to be accepted by the Minister for Housing. In addition to the two Ministers, we will add a third one - the Minister for Housing."
