Mr. Speaker, Sir, just an intervention. On the day we appointed this Special Committee, I brought to the attention of this House the possible consequences of us failing to plan well with the Committee with the restriction of the 10 days within which this Committee is supposed to submit a report to this House. I made a passionate plea that we have an arrangement with this Committee where we urge them to ensure that these Senators will have enough time to interrogate the report before coming to plenary. This is now when the chickens have come home to roost. None ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. During the debate on the formation of the Special Committee, I raised a very important issue about the time when we receive this report from the Committee and the time when we debate it.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are debating a very serious issue, I seek your guidance on what has been argued and canvassed by the Minority Leader and also by Sen. Murkomen. Even the Constitution does not express the number of Senators who need to vote, but our own rules provide that we have 24 Members. Does it mean that we can ignore the rules of the House? Just for clarity of the House.

On a point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While the HANSARD bears the Senate Minority Leader’s words exactly what he asked you to rule on, it is very clear that the question on the table this afternoon that you were asked to rule on is; can one side of this House walk out and leave the other side to pretend to continue with business? I want to urge that we look at the HANSARD as you make your ruling because that is the question that is on the table.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is just because I was concerned when the debate started to take another direction, but then the Speaker could be asked to go fishing, to introduce other matters that were not in the question.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence. I affirm that I do not intend to contradict your ruling. However, in the course of deliberations this afternoon, there has been constant reference to the Deputy Governor, Mr. Kiala’s impeachment, and it is in the HANSARD. I request that in your ruling; kindly assist this House to interpret what the Standing Order No.68(5) means in this case---
