Citing orders 24 and 6,

Monguno emphasized his power and those of the President of the Senate on matters such as this -and concluded that it is within the discretion of the Senate President to change senators’ seats as the situation may warrant.

Monguno asserted that a senator can only speak from the seat allocated to him or her , stressing that the Senate President can then go ahead to exercise his power not to allow a senator contribute to any matter from a seat not allocated to him or her.
