Order! Hon members, regarding the second ruling, during the same debate on the report on the Taking Parliament to the People programme - Limpopo, hon Harris raised a point of order regarding whether it was parliamentary to accuse another member of lying to the House. I then undertook to study the Hansard translated version of Mr Mashamaite's statement. Having considered the content of the statement, I find it is apparent that there was inconsistency between his speech and the simultaneous English interpretation. The hon member never mentioned the word "lying" during his speech on the said date.
My ruling is therefore that the point of order raised by hon Harris cannot be upheld.
