    "content": " On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is good to mention the work of the Committees and what they have done. Indeed, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve was in the process of giving a report about the work done by the Committee on Education. However, it was going to be a very long story and we have only an hour. Madam Temporary Speaker, Standing Order 52(1) is futuristic; it does not give an account of what you have done. It deals with what is coming next week. That is the intention of Standing Order 52(1). Otherwise, if it was Standing Order 52(2), under which I can also give a statement, then one can give a report of what has happened now and in the past. I have looked at the Standing Orders, and this statement that is being made is under Standing Order 52(1), which is specific. There will be an expectation next that we should give a full account of what every committee does. Being on my feet, Madam Temporary Speaker, it is actually required of every Committee to be giving reports of what they do. This is one of the things that we think that the Committees should take opportunity to report almost every week about the work they are doing. Otherwise, we may end up having Committees which cannot show us the work they are doing. Madam Temporary Speaker, the point I was raising was about Standing Order 52(1)."
