    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am noticing something very interesting. It is very interesting in the sense in that, of course, you have the last say as to who should take to the Floor. However, there have been exchanges of conversations here as a point of information between the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Olekina here. In these exchanges – I do not know whatever they were exchanging – the only thing is that it was not a good exchange. Now the House has been drawn into it. When the Senate Majority Leader was speaking, I realized that he took so much time to address the issue. Thereafter, he moved straight to where the Chair is with tremendous respect and requested that each Senator be given only two minutes to talk to the issues but he took over 45 minutes to address this House. He talked about us in the Opposition abdicating our responsibility and not criticizing the Government, but the Statement came from the Opposition. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is a sad day that you have decided that you have the ultimate say, that Sen. Olekina will not address this House today. He pressed his card immediately after you introduced this topic when he was still on the Floor. Up to now, he has not been accorded that opportunity. Mine was a point of information to you."
