On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have consistently warned Sen. Wetangula against calling people names. Did you hear him call us crocodiles? The last person to call anybody a crocodile should be Sen. Wetangula because the highest court in the land declared that he is unfit to hold office for bribery.

However, I propose that the definition of Statement Hour is based on Standing Order No. 1. The Speaker can use the Chair’s discretion to allow two or three minutes to become the Statement Hour for the purpose of creating a vehicle for our colleague to make his Personal Statement. Although the same section provides that:- “Although there is no question before the Senate”
