 From the green chamber, it was a clash of interests as some members kicked against the motion calling for special recognition for teachers to mark World Teachers Day. The motion was however discussed after the speaker's intervention. It will be a hono for the House to recognize the teachers. Honourable Baghoff resists the motion under matters of personal explanation on the need to celebrate teachers for their contribution to educating future leaders. But the motion is misconstrued by some leaders of the lower chamber who accused Baghoff's of seeking political relevance, especially now that the nation is preparing for the next general election. Baghoff's is trying to use this platform to get that attention. And in using that to get that attention, he's one of those that is very prompt to his attendance in terms of sitting in chambers. And I believe he should be learning the rock very well. When you raise a matter under personal explanation, I think the leader is just trying to save him, maybe because of a contribution. My thought would have been, he has to take note of what he has said because... And we move forward. What Baghoff's tried to bring on board is something that even last year we did it. We gave an honour to some teachers. We gave honour to some teachers who distinguished themselves in their field. And today Baghoff's is bringing that. So it has nothing to do with Baghoff's trying to achieve political relevance. In a bit to doubt the tension before it degenerates into political attacks between members of the two main political parties, the speaker steps in ruling that since a debate had already ensued on the subject matter, the motion should be discussed as a substantive motion. I don't think celebrating Teacher's Day is a controversial matter. It should never be a controversial matter. And that is established. The second condition is that it cannot be debated. And on that note, the leader of the House was right that it should have come under a substantive motion. But because we have already started debating it, we have heard about four speakers, that's the debate. Because we have already started debating it, it is automatically, by fiat, automatically it has been moved to a substantive motion. That's my ruling. Lawmakers then take turns to appreciate teachers who helped shape their lives from elementary to tertiary institutions. They call for the inclusion of housing provisions for teachers in the budget. A minute of silence is observed for late teachers, while a standard of action is also observed to say thank you to teachers for their work well done so far. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
