On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a House of rules and precedence, as Sen. Wetangula said. I have risen on this Standing Order and I think I will do it as many times as is necessary for you to implement it. Standing Order No.112(2) says: “No Senator shall pass between the Chair and any Senator who is speaking ---”
