However, Standing Order No.39(2) says; “Business shall be disposed of in the sequence in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence as the Speaker may, for the convenience of the Senate, direct.” I have directed that the sequence be such that Sen.

If she is ready now, ... view

• 16 Feb 2017 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I do not understand where you are coming from. My communication was so clear and to the point. I do not know what else you want me to clarify on it. 22nd February, 2017 is the last day on which the matter can be voted upon.
