    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to request a Ministerial Statement from the Leader of Government Business. This is in respect of who is funding the current cocktail parties that are being held in honor of the passing of the new Constitution. I would like the Leader of Government Business to clarify the following. Could he clarify if he is aware of the following cocktail parties; 1. The one that was held at State House gardens, hosted by His Excellency the President on the afternoon of 27th August this year; 2. The one that was held by the Prime Minister in an evening at the Carnivore Restaurant, hosted by the Prime Minister on the 27th of August; 3. Eight provincial receptions hosted by our Provincial Commissioners on 27th August; and, 4. An evening cocktail party to be held today at Parliament grounds at 7.00 p.m. If he is aware of these parties, could he tell us the total cost of these parties, and who is funding them? Why was the taxpayer asked to fund cocktail parties by the Prime Minister and the Vice-President, when protocol demands that public funding be limited to a State House Garden party at the end of a function like the one we had on Friday, which was extended as provincial receptions hosted by the Provincial Commissioners?"
