• 16 Dec 2015 in Senate: Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale! Why can you not have little decorum? It is not possible for you to have a kick. You sought my interpretation and then you continue to talk about it. In my view, the only window that can be opened is with the indulgence of the Senate. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in Senate: Order, Senators. We are discussing another serious issue to do with our own Standing Orders. Let us deal with it the way we deal with a serious situation. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in Senate: What I expect from you Senators, because I have given you an indication of what my inclinations are, if we have a Standing Order or a constitutional provision that allows me to do what Sen. Keter is seeking, being his last day here, show it to me and I will allow it. My inclination would have been to allow Sen. Keter to make a Personal Statement because he is here with us for the last day.

• 16 Dec 2015 in Senate: Order, Senators! Like I said, what Sen. Keter has in his point of order, that is the last point of order that will be allowed. The truth of the matter is that all of you can read Standing Order No. 25 and you will see that it is a Special Sitting.

• 16 Dec 2015 in Senate: I have a short communication to make on the suspension of sittings of the Committees of the Senate. Hon. Senators, as you are aware on Thursday, 3rd December, 2015, the Senate proceeded on recess until Tuesday, 9th February, 2016, as per the Senate calendar. It has been a long and hectic year for us.

The recess at the end of the Session provides an opportunity for us to reflect on the achievements and challenges through the year. We ... view

• 25 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That is a great statement coming from the Senate Majority Leader. I respect the statement that he interrogates Government and, therefore, cannot issue a statement on its behalf. However, lately, we have had lots of statements from the Vice Chairpersons from the Minority side when they are supposed to interrogate the Government. The Senate Minority Leader has just made a great statement. view
• 25 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a great statement because there has been an issue in this House on whether or not a statement from the Government can be issued from the Minority side. We have received statements as late as yesterday from the leadership of the Minority in this House. That is an issue the Speaker needs to look into and give direction because it is fundamental. view
