6 May 2014 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I insist. I am quite in order. In addition to the newspaper cutting, whatever was said by the Senators, I heard what they said was on television. We saw them discuss it. On the issue of whether the matter was before the Senate, you did gazette this Special Sitting of the Senate today and indicated the matter to be handled.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand on behalf of the Committee on Energy. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had sought a Statement on the affairs at the Geothermal Development Corporation (GDC) and I am seeking the indulgence of the House.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support. This is a very well thought out schedule and just to echo the words of the Mover and the Seconder; that it is a step forward to reaffirm the independence of Parliament.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, I am standing in for the Chairperson. As you are aware, there is a change of committees. I want to confirm that this morning we dealt with the matter that concerns Sen. Billow in the Committee. Unfortunately, both the Permanent Secretary and the Cabinet Secretary are out of the country in the Philippines. We could not get a suitable answer for Sen. Billow. Therefore, I am seeking the indulgence of the House that the Committee be given time. We are seeking the intervention of the Ministry, even if the Cabinet Secretary and the Permanent Secretary are ...
