    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I understand the wisdom behind terminating debate or contributions to this Petition, considering that we need to vote; which I have no problem with. However, the Standing Orders provide comments and contributions for about 30 minutes. Nothing would have stopped your office from terminating debate for the time being so that we go for the voting, and then come back to it. There was a reason why 30 minutes was provided for that in these Standing Orders. Secondly, this is such an important issue. Earlier on, we spent a lot a lot of time discussing about whether the Speaker was sitting or standing, and we are live actually. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should have spent the quality time that we have on air right now making our thoughts and contributions on this Petition. We should remember that once a petition comes here, it will not come here again for any contribution by any Member of this House. Considering the seriousness of the absence of a deputy governor, even if you rule me out of order, it is unfair to completely extinguish the possibility of some of us who have researched, drafted laws and said something about the office of the deputy governor. We should have had some time to discuss this matter."
