• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Sen. Murkomen, can I get it right? What exactly do you want to amend and how exactly do you want to amend this Motion? view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Hon. Senators, I take it of course that Sen. Murkomen is coming under Standing Order No.53(2) which does not have the same stringency as Standing Order No.53(1). This allows the Speaker in exceptional circumstances to allow for this kind of an amendment from the Floor of the House. The issue is whether it should be 20 or 30 minutes which is nothing very momentous. First of all, I would like to advise the House that, in this circumstance, it would be preferable, since you see the Order Paper in good time, to bring your amendment in writing so that there ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: THAT, pursuant to Standing Order 98 (1), the Senate resolves that the debate on the Motion on the Presidential Address shall be limited to a maximum of three sitting days with not more than fifteen minutes for each Senator speaking, excluding the mover in moving and replying who shall be limited to thirty minutes in either case and that the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader shall be limited to thirty minutes each. 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 ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Next Order! LIMITATION OF DEBATE ON BILLS/COMMITTEE REPORTS PURSUANT TO S.O. 98 (4) view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, if you will move that Motion – I cannot stop you from moving it – you have to see that Standing Order No.98 (4) provides for 60 minutes. Does it not? That is why the Procedural Motion starts with the word “notwithstanding.” It starts by qualifying Standing Order No. 98(4). So, if you want to move an amendment, it must be – it is not in my place to tell you this - pursuant to Standing Order No.98(4) so that the words “notwithstanding the provisions of---“ also go. The Standing Order 98(4) provides for 60 minutes. However, ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: I am not correcting you. That is just pointing out an oversight. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Sen. Khalwale, I listened to the debate in the previous Motion. I listened to the debate with regard to Order No.10. So, I will allow your amendment to be debated. Do not go into details now. The same way I allowed the amendment under Order No.10 is the same way I will allow your amendment to be debated. I want you to read it now, under Standing Order No.53 (2). This can be allowed during debate. I want you to read the proper amendment that you want to bring. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Before Sen. Kanainza seconds the amendment; this Motion has changed the timings. It has changed Standing Order No.98 (4). If you look at these Standing Orders, you will see that it provides for 30 minutes. However, the Motion is talking about 60 minutes for the Mover. So, this has changed the Standing Order. I regret that I may appear to have misled you by asking you to delete the words “notwithstanding.” It must have these words because the 30 minutes have been changed. The amendment you are asking is 60 minutes as provided in the Standing Orders. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Senator. Sen. Kanainza can now second. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: This is not a Motion affecting the counties and so, everybody has a vote. view
