Order, Mr. Midiwo! I would like the Deputy Leader of Government Business to assure me that you may actually speak from the Dispatch Box! Leader of Government Business, I would like to know!

Mr. Midiwo, what do you have to say to that before you second?

I am aware that at that time the Whips were the Leaders of Government Business. However, they are no longer Leaders of Government Business now.

Mr. Mungatana, I will give you a chance. Let Mr. Midiwo finish what he was saying!

Mr. Mungatana, what was your point of order?

29 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
Order, hon. Midiwo! I am actually doing this for your benefit.

You Whips of the Government must acknowledge that if you are serving the Government then they must recognize the status as such and accord the privileges attendant to the office. I am aware that when the whips were acting as the Leaders of Government Business, they were entitled to all the privileges of the Dispatch Box, but that situation has changed. So, I want to get from the Leader of Government Business whether the whips enjoy the privileges that are attendant to the Leader of Government Business in order to address the House from the Dispatch Box.

Very well. While you consult, we can make progress and Mr. Midiwo will address the House from the Back Bench.
