On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I listened to the Vice Chairman very carefully. Apparently, he did not have an answer for question (1) and (2) which were the fulcrum of the statement sought, on what the Government is doing to stop the noise pollution that is negatively affecting the hospital and the residents of Loresho. That answer is missing. Am I in order to request that the Vice Chairman brings an adequate answer tomorrow?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I believe that Sen. Madzayo, indeed, a retired judge, is privy to Article 125 of the Constitution which gives him immense power to summon the people responsible for not giving him an answer. According to the calendar of this House, we are likely to adjourn sine die on Thursday. Is he in order not to have utilized this Article of the Constitution to supply this House with the necessary answer?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House is guided by Standing Orders, tradition and precedence. Our records - that most of us know - indicate that a mover of a Bill will always move the Bill “in his support” unless he states that he is moving that Bill in an amended form which he must declare as he moves. The mover has done neither. He is actually contradicting the very move he is moving. Is he in order? We need guidance.
