Gladys Boss","speaker":null,"content":"I just want to point out a few things. I can say the judgment is conflated, convoluted and confusing. It even reveals that there were no laws that were looked at. For example, the argument that the Speaker cannot be a member of a political party, or be a political party leader, is flawed. Section 12 of the Political Parties Act prohibits every public officer from getting into a party or in politicking, but sub-clause 2 provides an exemption to the President, the Deputy President, Members of Parliament, members of county assemblies, governors and deputy governors. And the Speaker is a Member of the National Assembly."}
