Pursuant to Standing Orders 64 and 66, the House is required to dispose of the Motion within seven days of the Member giving notice under Standing Order 47. In the event the House does not adhere to the timeline, the Motion shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall not be moved again in the same Session except with the leave of the Speaker. Consequently, if the Member for Bumula gives notice of Motion this afternoon, the House has until next week, Tuesday 7th May 2024 to dispose of the Motion. However, noting the House is scheduled to proceed on a one-month recess from Friday, 3rd May 2024, it is advisable that the House disposes of this Motion by Thursday, 2nd May 2024. This shall allow the House to become seized of the matter before proceeding on recess."

"content": "Under Article 152(7) of the Constitution, the House becomes properly seized if the Motion is supported by one-third of the Members of the National Assembly. Upon approval of the Motion, the House is required to appoint a Select Committee of 11 Members to investigate the matter. A third of all the Members of the National Assembly, which is 116.3, rounded off to a whole Member, the Motion shall require the support of 117 Members for it to be referred to a Select Committee for investigations. With regard to the timelines applicable to the Committee, Standing Order 66(5) provides that the Select Committee shall, within ten days, report to the Assembly whether it finds the allegations against the Cabinet Secretary to be substantiated or otherwise. If the Select Committee reports, finds the allegations are unsubstantiated, no further proceedings are taken thereafter. However, if the Select Committee report finds that the allegations are substantiated, the House is required to afford the Cabinet Secretary an opportunity to be heard, and a vote whether to approve the resolution requiring dismissal of the Cabinet Secretary. Pursuant to Article 152(10) of the Constitution, a resolution requiring the President to dismiss a cabinet secretary must be supported by a majority of the Members of the National Assembly, which is 175 Members. A resolution that achieves the required support must be promptly delivered to the President and is bound to dismiss the cabinet secretary in question upon receipt. Hon. Members, from the foregoing, you will agree with me that once the Member for Bumula gives the notice of Motion this afternoon, the stage shall be set for the House to commence consideration of the Motion. To this end, Members should take cognisance of the constitutional and procedural requirements, the threshold and prescribed timelines at different stages of consideration of the Motion that I have just highlighted to you. Members at the Bar, take the nearest seats."
