Omboko Milemba","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The business before this House requires us to vote on the nomination of a person to fill a vacancy in the Office of the Deputy President in terms of Article 149 of the Constitution. As is the practice, before the House takes a vote on a matter, Members are accorded an opportunity to debate and give their views on the business before the House. To this end, I seek your guidance on whether we shall be allowed to debate the nomination and give our views. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
