    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The excitement by Sen. Cherargei is really quite telling. An event cannot become suddenly unofficial, yet he presented officially on behalf of the Senate to that forum. I have been standing in for the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, because my Chairperson sought official leave and letters from your office to go and chair the BBI meetings. Now that he is done, he is coming back. Let us allow all shades of political opinion; those who support BBI, whether or not you know what is in, but being the spirit behind it because you know the nine issues. Those who supported Punguza Mizigo Initiative, which was also punguzwadna ikaisha--- This is a country of freedom of expression so long as the Members do not talk about anything that is against the Standing Orders, a rumour or table newspaper evidence in front of the House; anything goes.
