• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: How did you approach me? view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: You see, this is a House of rules and we must respect them. You have stood in your place and said that you are proceeding under Standing Order No.45 (2) (b) and because I do not want us to engage unnecessarily, I am asking you whether you have satisfied Standing Order No.45 (3). view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Then the matter lapses. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: No, there cannot be a reason. That is why I said that unless now you are giving me a window, because Standing Order No.45 (3) says clearly that:- “Before 1.00 p.m., on the day on which the Statement is proposed to be made, hand to the Speaker a written notification of the matter, but the Speaker may refuse to allow the request unless satisfied that the matter may be properly discussed in the Senate”. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, on an issue like this one, you indicated to me that you wanted to raise an issue and that it would come by way of a point of order. You did not tell me under what Standing Order you were going to raise it. Am I right? view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: So, if you want to proceed – I told you I would give you the Floor – on a point of order, like I have allowed points of order for the last one hour, I will allow you, but that must be within the law that guides us and that is the Standing Orders.

So, really it is up to you, but you have the Floor. view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, let me make myself clear. I want to be very clear. I will not allow you to go to the substance of your Point of Order or to say anything that would be substantive unless and until you satisfy me that procedurally you are correct. So, before you go into any substance, convince me first that you are procedurally correct. In that case, I see the most practical avenue open to me is Standing Order No.82. But that is procedural.

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Standing Order No.1 (1) says, and I will read it for your benefit and everybody else:- “In all cases where matters are not expressly provided for by these Standing Orders or by other Orders of the Senate, any procedural question shall be decided by the Speaker.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I would like you to withdraw that statement. We are not having consultation. I am reading the law to him. Although this is a House of rules, it is also a House of fairness. So, Sen. Khalwale will be heard and then we shall proceed with the Order Paper. I want him also to be satisfied with what I am telling him; that it is correct. Sen.
