• 5 Aug 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that you have made that ruling, is it in order to continue the debate? The issue is that the results should be laid on the Table of the House and subsequently, questions be asked. Does it mean that we still have to postpone the Question, so that we can get an answer later or do away with it? view
