• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Just before I argue my point, I need your guidance.

Last week you directed that Orders No. 8 and 9 be dealt with in succession without ending one and going back to the other.

In strict sense, it is a matter of procedure regardless of which Order we are doing because in future, we will still have presidential memoranda coming here and similar arguments can be prosecuted. We request the Chair to hear us on a matter of procedure. It may eventually touch on or affect Orders No. 8 and 9. It is generally procedure that the Speaker can rule and help the House for ... view

• 3 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to prosecute an argument on the manner of voting; the precedence we have set right from the inception of this Senate and the threshold to have the vote as provided for both in the Standing Orders and the Constitution. This may have a bearing and a touching on the two orders that it is a general argument that the Chair can guide the House for now and for the future. It cannot be an ambush because the Standing Orders are before you, the Constitution is available and the arguments are oral and are before ... view
